These backwater fishing trips showcase Naples' most productive inshore waters, from Ten Thousand Islands to Rookery Bay. Captain Josh targets structure-rich areas where gamefish ambush baitfish, using live shrimp, pinfish, and artificial lures depending on conditions. The shallow-draft boat accesses skinny water flats and mangrove creeks that larger vessels cannot reach. Anglers regularly encounter snook around docks and bridges, redfish on grass flats, and seasonal tarpon in deeper channels. Each trip includes fish cleaning service and local fishing tips that improve your technique long after the charter ends.
Naples' backwater ecosystem supports diverse gamefish populations throughout the year. Snook remain active in warmer months, holding near structure during incoming tides when they feed aggressively on shrimp and small fish. Redfish patrol grass flats and oyster bars, often tailing in shallow water where sight-fishing becomes exciting. Tarpon migrate through local waters during spring and summer, providing opportunities for trophy catches. Captain Josh reads water conditions and adjusts techniques accordingly, whether sight-casting to cruising fish or working deeper holes during temperature changes. The protected waters offer consistent action regardless of offshore weather conditions.
