cascadekiller Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Anyone here from south west florida? Im going to be in Marco Island, about 30 mins south of Naples, for 2 weeks starting Wednesday. What should I be throwing this time of year? And if anyone lives down there and wants to fish, that would be dope. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppabass Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Don't get ur hopes up. Florida is a tough place to fish cuz u compete with 8 inch shiners everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm mostly looking at small ponds on google earth. Definitely going to stay away from the bigger lakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snookonfly Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 If you hit the saltwater by boat, this is the toughest time of year depending on the water clarity but you can still catch small snook and reds in the mangroves throwing big hammer swimbaits...white, chartreuse and brown/gold flake are all good colors. If you don't have access to a boat, jack crevalle bite along the sea walls can be a blast... Big ones show up in those canals on the sea walls too. I'd throw sebiles in the 110-145mm sizes in white or halo greenie. Spanish Mackerel are an option on the ocean side of Marco. They will eat anything flashy and fast if you are around em! That area is awesome! Spent many of my younger years fishing the mangroves and sea walls down there!! Never bass fished down there because the inshore saltwater fishing opportunities are really the best deal. Also, Make sure you visit the snook inn and get a grouper sandwich! PM me if you think I can help further! cascadekiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
