Boater choice's: Inshore, mangroves, grassflats, oyster beds, passes, offshore reefs and trophy blue water fishing.

From blasting through the Everglades by airboat to toasting a sunset on a schooner in full sail, boating options are available for every taste and style. For the Angler, choices only begin with shore fishing, charter fishing with experience guides, Boat rentals or Kayak fishing among the flats or mangroves.

Unquestionably most popular is fishing the pristine waters of the Ten Thousand Islands, where light-tackle and fly fishers pursue hungry snook, tarpon redfish and sea trout.

The mangroves that line the shores are the stuff of fisherman's dreams. Barrier islands protect the coastline, at the same time create a series of inner bays separate these islands from the mainland, where tidal rivers contribute to a slightly brackish environment. Here on the inside and in the channels that separate the islands, anglers follow the tidal flow in pursuit of shallow water action.

Local Catch found in our local Southwest Florida waters. They abound in the backwaters, tidal pools, tidal creeks and offshore. They are schoolies or smaller in the backwaters and as they grow the larger older fish live most of there life's offshore.

Locals know Wiggins Pass as the best shoreline fishing Naples has to offer. Unlike most shorelines, Wiggins Pass gives you two choices, surf fish or fishing the pass. In most cases it’s a no brainier and you fish the pass, but when Pompano and Snook are running the shoreline in winter and early spring, AM/PM surf fishing is the way to go. Fishing Wiggins Pass
