Southwest Florida is a<br />

True Fisherman’s Paradise (continued)<br />

<strong>Naples</strong> Area Fishing<br />

Top fishing around <strong>Naples</strong> and <strong>Marco</strong><br />

<strong>Island</strong> can be found in the aquatic<br />

preserves of Rookery Bay and around<br />

the Ten Thousand <strong>Island</strong>s. While the<br />

lower part of the Ten Thousands<br />

<strong>Island</strong>s waters is within the Everglades<br />

National Park, the upper part is listed<br />

to become a National Wildlife Refuge.<br />

There are many fishing charter<br />

companies that know these waters<br />

well and will provide all the tackle,<br />

bait, fishing tales, and tips you need<br />

for a great day out on the water.<br />

Browse the local fleet of fishing charters<br />

moored alongside historic Tin City or<br />

in the sheltered waters at Crayton<br />

Cove Marina and <strong>Naples</strong> City <strong>Do</strong>ck. Several companies offer all-inclusive charter/<strong>guide</strong> services for backwater and<br />

nearshore fishing. These waters avoid the unpredictability of wind and waves providing great catches of snook, redfish,<br />

shark, snapper, kingfish, barracuda, and tarpon in calm seas, whether you are a novice or seasoned angler.<br />

Just 22 miles from <strong>Naples</strong> is the Ten Thousand <strong>Island</strong>s area, which is often referred to as one of the best fishing spots in<br />

Florida for more ambitious fishing enthusiasts. This area of the Paradise Coast runs for 107 miles down to the Florida straits<br />

and the Florida Keys. Deeper water generally means bigger fish, so private charters offer trips from 20-100 miles offshore<br />

for rewarding deep sea fishing at affordable prices.<br />

Closer to home, good bass fishing can be found on the Gordon River and the estuaries between <strong>Naples</strong> and <strong>Marco</strong><br />

<strong>Island</strong>. You can launch a canoe or kayak into the Gordon River Greenway from the access point located behind the <strong>Naples</strong><br />

Zoo. Other spots for beach fishing include Tigertail Beach County Park on <strong>Marco</strong> <strong>Island</strong>, Clam Pass Beach Park, and<br />

Vanderbilt Beach in <strong>Naples</strong> where<br />

generally the best fishing can be found<br />

on the incoming tide.<br />

Whether you are a first-time <strong>visitor</strong> or<br />

are lucky enough to reside in beautiful<br />

Southwest Florida, you will find some<br />

rewarding fishing in the area. Offshore,<br />

inshore, freshwater, saltwater, and<br />

lake fishing are all found here in<br />

abundance. In an area already known<br />

for its beaches and golf, fishing adds<br />

another dimension to this area’s fun<br />

outdoor amenities.<br />
