 Spent a couple of days guiding Missouri anglers Bill and Eric. They were new to Snook fishing, and I was eager to show them what it was all about. The conditions played a huge role in this trip. While the weather was great, for some reason an abnormally high swell was running both days, hurting the bite bigtime. Of course the marine forecasts didn't mention this! Despite that, we found some windows of fishable water. By the way, the mullet run was in full swing! Naples fishing guide update 9/3/09 09/02/2009
 Well it has been quite awhile since I posted an update. I recently spent a week out in California fishing for Trout in the Sierras. What a great place to escape to during the summer! Fishing was good and the crowds were down which was nice. I wound up with about 100 Trout, mostly small Rainbows with a few small Browns mixed in. Also did plenty of hiking and sightseeing. Before I left, the beach fishing here in Naples was a little tough with some small fish being caught here and there. A few days there was simply too much bait in the water and I think the fish were stuffing themselves at night! My favorite time of the year (fall) is approaching, which brings usually solid beach action through about Halloween, and soon after I will return to chase Tarpon and Snook on the Tamiami Trail Canals. |
