Naples' inshore waters fish best during moving tides when gamefish actively feed in the shallows. Early morning and late afternoon typically provide the most consistent action, especially during warmer months when fish seek cooler water temperatures. The area's year-round fishing season means productive trips in every month, though spring and fall often produce the largest fish as they move through these waters during seasonal migrations.
Water clarity in Naples Bay and surrounding areas varies with tides and weather, but Captain Josh adapts techniques accordingly using both live bait and artificial lures. The shallow nature of these waters requires specialized boats and local knowledge to navigate safely while accessing the most productive fishing spots. Wind conditions can affect fishing success, but the protected backcountry offers alternatives when open water becomes challenging.
