As we transition to winter fishing there will be notable changes both inshore and offshore. Many backcountry fish will retreat into the shallow creeks to seek shelter from the cold and murky water. In the inshore areas, our primary winter targets include Redfish, Trout, and Sheepshead, with the occasional presence of Snook. Offshore fishing, particularly between weather fronts when the wind subsides, can be exceptionally productive. Book JP' Backwater Adventures to start your Naples Fishing Charter
