Fishing Naples
Naples fishes its passes hard — Gordon Pass and Doctors Pass funnel snook and redfish between the Gulf and the back bays, while pompano and whiting work the surf along the beaches. A short run offshore puts you on nearshore reefs full of grouper and snapper, and tarpon show along the beaches in summer. It's a clean, upscale coastline with genuinely good fishing.
Target species
- Snook
- Redfish
- Pompano
- Grouper
Local tip: The passes fish best on a strong tide; pompano hit the surf on cleaner, calmer water.
