What is Fishing Like in Naples & Marco Island Right Now in October?

Fall fishing is in full swing across Naples, Marco Island, Rookery Bay and the Ten Thousand Islands, and the backcountry and coastal waters are loaded with bait.

Snook and redfish remain two of our primary targets, and both are providing excellent action right now. While this isn’t peak season for trophy-size snook, there are plenty of fish around and the bite has been consistent. Redfish are especially strong right now, with most of the fish we’re catching running approximately 20 to 30 inches.

Fall Fishing in Naples and Marco Island: Prime Time in Southwest Florida

Fall is one of my favorite times of year to fish Southwest Florida. As the seasons begin to change, baitfish become abundant along the beaches, throughout the bays and passes, and across the backcountry. That abundance of food creates excellent opportunities for anglers fishing Naples, Marco Island, the Ten Thousand Islands, and the surrounding waters.

September and the fall months are particularly good for redfish. Reds can be found along mangrove shorelines, oyster bars, passes, creek mouths, and shallow bays. Live pilchards are one of our most productive baits, but this is also a great time to throw artificial lures. Topwater plugs early in the morning can produce explosive strikes. As the sun gets higher, jigs and soft plastics worked along shorelines and deeper edges are excellent choices.

Snook fishing remains excellent through the fall. Snook follow the bait and can often be caught in many of the same areas as redfish.

Speckled trout are another fall favorite. Look for trout over grass flats, around sandy potholes, and along deeper edges.

Late summer and fall are some of my favorite times of the year for Naples fishing and Marco Island fishing.

The fishing remains excellent throughout Southwest Florida, and this time of year brings a great mix of species and different ways to fish.

There is also noticeably less boat traffic, which makes a day exploring the mangrove creeks, backcountry bays, passes, and beaches even more enjoyable.

Our Naples and Marco Island charters fish the waters around Naples, Marco Island, Rookery Bay, the Ten Thousand Islands, and the Everglades.

On any given trip we may catch snook, redfish, mangrove snapper, speckled trout, pompano, black drum, jack crevalle, Spanish mackerel, sharks, and even a late season tarpon.

Give me a call or text to book a trip or talk fishing.

I love fishing Southwest Florida in July. The boat traffic is light, the Gulf is often calm and beautiful!

Snook are especially abundant right now and can be found along the beaches, around the passes and throughout the nearby bays. We have been catching them on fly, artificial lures and live bait. The largest snook of the past week was a beautiful 32-inch fish.

Redfish have not been quite as numerous, but we landed an impressive 31-inch oversized red the other day. We do not catch many redfish over 30 inches, so this one was a real trophy and an exciting surprise.

Fishing is outstanding in Naples & Marco Island in July!!

July is one of the best times of the year to book a Naples fishing charter or Marco Island fishing charter, with consistent action and an wide variety of fish available throughout Southwest Florida.

While many anglers think the excitement ends when peak tarpon season winds down, experienced local captains know that's when Southwest Florida's incredible variety really shines. July offers outstanding opportunities to catch multiple species in a single trip, making it one of my favorite months to guide families, experienced anglers, and first-time fishermen alike.

One of the best parts about July is the incredible variety of species available. On many trips, it's common to catch six to ten different species before returning to the dock.
