August fishing in Naples is fantastic right now! The rains have cooled the backwaters slightly and the fish have responded. Tarpon, redfish, snook and trout have all been biting on every charter. August is also the time the kids go back to school, and we get lots of openings for couples who come back year after year to get out on the uncrowded waters and their own day of fishing and fun.

If you have ever wanted to catch a tarpon, right now is the time to try. They are huge, I call em ‘funsized’, but they fight, jump battle and are as persnickety as their big brethren. The best thing about a funsize tarpon, is we get to use light line and light tackle. They also like to eat small easy to cast baits. But they only take 5-15 minutes of electrifying fun to get in the boat. The big ones can take over an hour! The influx of fresh water into the backcountry has pushed them down into reachable areas, where 7-10 hookups a charter are possible!

Along all the mangrove islands in the bays, like Rookery Bay and Johnson Bay the redfish, mangrove snapper, snook, and speckled seatrout are hitting every kind of bait we (live shrimp and live pilchards. are presenting.

The goliath grouper and sharks are always hungry and ready for anyone that wants to test their strength against some of Naples’ and Southwest Florida’s largest apex predators.

If those pictures get you excited, and you love to catch a variety of fish, lets go fishing! Fishing charters are Naples have been highly productive and it is so easy to do. There are no long rides to the boat ramp or the fishing. The weather is usually calm. And August fishing in Naples is fantastic!
