Redfish
The backwaters and coastal estuaries around Naples, Florida, offer exceptional Redfish opportunities. These fish thrive in the shallow, grassy flats and mangrove-lined creeks. Focus your efforts on areas with oyster bars or points where current concentrates bait. The best times are during the cooler months (fall through spring), when the water is clearer, and the Redfish are actively feeding. Low light conditions, such as early morning or late afternoon, are also prime. A productive tactic is to use weedless spoons or soft plastics rigged on a jighead, working them slowly along the bottom. A local tip: try accessing the backwaters via the numerous kayak launches around Rookery Bay; this allows you to quietly approach the fish. Remember that Redfish in this area can be line-shy, so using fluorocarbon leader is recommended. The Redfish here are known for their copper coloration, blending perfectly with the environment.
