Trip Summary

Being on the water almost every day for the last few weeks, it's definitely the peak of busy season here in Naples! With the exception of the last five days or so, the weather has been nice and warm, and the bite has been steadily improving. Snook, jacks, mangrove snapper, goliath grouper, and redfish are all gobbling up live pilchards. Find clean, moving water and you'll find the best bite! Last week we were hit with a strong late season cold front, which dropped the water temperatures almost 15 degrees, and strong onshore winds stirred up the gulf waters quite a bit. With these conditions, we have been using pieces of shrimp on a 1/4 ounce jighead, or bucktail jigs, to catch seatrout, mangrove snapper, sheepshead, pompano, and even a few other surpries catches like small tarpon and permit!
