HotSpots Naples, Ft. Rick Featherstone Fishing offshore has been a mixed bag this past week. The good news is if you go out looking for a bent rod you have a very good chance of finding it. There has been a lull in the tarpon fishery in the inshore stage this week, but the snook and jacks have migrated out to the beaches to take up the slack nicely.
Spanish mackerel are abundant in the smaller sizes also.
If big is your thing, there are some huge sharks mixed in with the tarpon. Out further there is still some king mackerel activity and good cuda action. On the longer runs of twenty to thirty miles there is excellent snapper and grouper action as well. You are likely to find tarpon any place from Wiggins Pass to Captiva pass in our area this time of year. Lately with the couple of low pressure fronts that passed by the fish scattered out.
