Naples Inshore Fishing Report by Capt. Joey Benko

Fishing here in SWFL has been fantastic the fish are fired up. Redfish have moved into the area in nice numbers along with snook roaming up and down the beaches. Tarpon have been rolling the beaches south of Gordons Pass. Look for large schools of mullet and you will find the fish roaming with these schools.  Pilchards and thread fins have been perfect size on the beaches but be aware that redtide patches are out in the gulf and after catching your bait try to get back on the inside before your bait dies. The redtide bloom seems to only be affecting the mullet at this time. For the artificial guys play the high incoming tides using 1/4 oz jigs with 3 inch Gulp New Penny to catch redfish and snook.  Here is a recent photo taken during the Everglades City Fishing Tournament with Aldo and Luca catching a pair of 35&36 inch snook.  Book a trip now!
