Highlights of Naples Redfish Fishing
This 26-inch redfish represents the quality fishing available in Naples' inshore waters throughout the year. Redfish frequent the shallow grass flats, oyster bars, and mangrove shorelines that define Southwest Florida's coastal ecosystem. These copper-colored gamefish provide exciting fights on light tackle, making them a favorite target for both novice and experienced anglers.
Naples offers year-round redfish opportunities, with fish ranging from slot-size specimens to oversized bulls exceeding 30 inches. The area's extensive backcountry provides diverse fishing environments, from open flats to protected creeks and channels where redfish ambush prey.
Local Species Insights: Redfish
Redfish thrive in Naples' warm, shallow waters where they feed on crabs, shrimp, and baitfish along grass beds and structure. These fish are most active during moving tides when prey is displaced from cover. In Naples, redfish can be found year-round, though cooler months often produce larger specimens as fish move to deeper channels. The species' distinctive copper coloration and prominent eyespot make them easily identifiable, while their powerful runs and dogged fights provide memorable angling experiences. Local techniques include sight fishing on shallow flats, working live bait around structure, and casting artificial lures to feeding schools.
