Gag grouper fishing continues to be very good. Our deep sea fishing charters going out of Port of Call Marina, here in Naples, are continually catching nice gag grouper, amberjacks and mangrove snappers. Our sportfishing parties are finding that the grouper favor live bait right now over frozen thread herring and squid. We are still […]

We were on a full day charter today and our party found fishing in Naples to be very good. Red grouper continue to bite as the water is constantly warming in the bright sunny days. In addition to red grouper we all caught several nice mangrove snappers. Charter fishing in Naples will continue improving so

Tip Powers of McLean, Virginia and his crew from Reality Direct had a great day charter fishing 30 miles offshore from Naples yesterday. They caught several nice red grouper and amberjacks. The fish are extremely active right now due to the warmer weather here in southwest Florida. We expect great weather to continue here in

A cold front that passed Naples on Sunday had a cooling effect of the area but did little to slow down the fishing on our charters this week. Grouper fishing remained very good for sportfishing charters traveling offshore to 80 feet deep. Gag and red grouper continued to be caught on live bait and thread

The warm southerly breezes the last few days in Naples, Florida have warmed the Gulf of Mexico waters. The warming of the water has made the fish go a feeding frenzy not unlike what we experience in the summer months in southwest Florida. The Alabama went out 30 miles yesterday to catch amberjack and cobia

When the waters of the Gulf of Mexico around Naples and all of southwest Florida get as cool as they are now catching fish becomes a challenge. Our boat has been fishing reefs, ledges, wrecks and bottom with

The recent cold weather here in Naples has finally given way to the more traditional, balmy 70 and 80 degree and bright sunny days. While normal fishing in the ocean and back country have been affected with the cold waters we had an offshore surprise recently that was a surprise. Big schools of amberjacks in

The cool waters around Naples Florida continue to present challenges for deep sea as well as back country anglers. Our offshore charters are now targeting mangrove snapper and gag grouper along with amberjack and goliath grouper. We have found the best way to be successful catching mangrove snappers is think small. Light line, small hooks

Naples is now experiencing the warmest weather of the new year. Day time highs in the mid 70″s are making things feel more like normal Florida weather. We have been consistently catching nice gag grouper, mangrove snapper and red grouper now that the weather has warmed up. Our charters have recently included several young guys

Even with the cool weather of late, we still manage to get some nice Gag Grouper and Mangrove Snapper. When fishing for gags you must be aware that what works one day can be non-productive the next. That was exactly the case on Saturday here in Naples Florida. During our deep sea fishing trip we
