Redfish Fishing in Naples, Florida.
Tailing schools in the Naples backcountry.
Redfish fishing in Naples means shallow water, sight-casting and copper-colored fish crushing baits in inches of water. Redfish are here every month of the year, which makes them the most reliable target for families and first-time saltwater anglers.
Where we find redfish in Naples
Oyster bars, mangrove points and grass flats through the Ten Thousand Islands, Rookery Bay and the back bays around Marco Island.
How we fish for them
Cut bait or live shrimp on a light jighead, or a weedless soft plastic worked slowly across the flat. I use the power pole or trolling motor to position the boat.
Best time of year
Great all year; fall brings bigger schools and bull reds move nearshore in cooler months.
Private charters for up to 4 anglers (up to 6 for $100 per extra person). Rods, reels, bait, tackle, fishing licenses, ice and water included — and we clean your catch.
