Naples, FL, is the perfect destination for all kinds of getaways, including an unforgettable fishing trip. The waters that are ideal for other aquatic activities like kayaking excursions and snorkeling trips are also perfect for casting your line to see what you can reel in. To help you plan the ultimate fishing trip to Naples, the team at SunStream Realty has put together this guide on where to fish, what you can catch, and more.
Decide What You Want to Catch
What you can catch depends on when and where you are fishing. Inshore waters are known for snook, redfish, tarpon, and speckled trout. If you’re looking to go on an offshore trip, you can see everything from red snapper to blackfin tuna to red grouper. You can also go freshwater fishing in canals for bass.
Knowing what you want to catch can also help decide when to plan your grip. For example, summer is an ideal time to go night fishing for tarpon, while fall and winter are grouper season.
Pick Where to Cast Your Line
There are plenty of places near your Naples vacation rental that are must-try fishing locations. If you’re looking for options that don’t require a boat, consider Gordon’s Pass, Clam Pass Beach Park, and Golden Gate Canal.
For even more options, venture out into open waters. The Ten Thousand Islands is one of the best backcountry fisheries in the state. We also recommend fishing near the Kidd Wreck, a sunken barge found about 15 miles offshore. If you are planning a self-guided trip and need a boat rental, stop by Port O’Call Marina or Port 32.
Book Your Spot on a Fishing Charter
One of the easiest ways to make planning your trip a bit easier is to trade in a self-guided excursion for a guided charter. There are plenty of fishing charters in Naples that offer an array of outings.
For inshore or backwater trips, we recommend Chasin’ Tales Fishing Charters or Ms. B. Haven Fishing & Eco Charters. If you’re looking for an offshore or deep-sea charter, check out Deep Sea Fishing Charters, Off Her Radar Charters, or Dalis Fishing Charters, Inc.
