Naples' backwater fishing offers some of Southwest Florida's most consistent action. The extensive mangrove systems and grass flats create perfect habitat for redfish, snook, and spotted seatrout. These waters stay productive throughout the year, with peak action during spring and fall months when baitfish are abundant. The shallow nature of these fisheries allows for exciting sight fishing, where you can watch redfish tailing in skinny water or see snook ambushing prey near structure.
Captain Josh's intimate knowledge of these waters means he can adapt to changing conditions, whether working the backcountry creeks during high tide or focusing on nearshore flats when the water drops. The variety of structure—from oyster bars to mangrove shorelines—keeps every trip interesting and productive.
Naples' inshore waters fish best during moving tides, particularly the two hours before and after tide changes. Morning trips often provide the most comfortable conditions with lighter winds, while evening charters can offer spectacular sunset fishing as gamefish become more active. Water temperatures stay fishable year-round, though winter months may require layered clothing for early morning departures.
The protected nature of these backwaters means trips can run even when offshore conditions are rough, making inshore fishing a reliable option regardless of weather. Captain Josh monitors local conditions closely and will recommend the best fishing areas based on recent patterns, seasonal movements, and current water conditions.
