Naples 8-Hour Wreck Fishing Adventure

Full Day Wreck Fishing Adventure in Naples

Hey there, anglers! Ready for an epic day on the water? Our full-day wreck fishing trip off Naples is the real deal. We're talking 8 solid hours of non-stop action, targeting some of Florida's most sought-after species. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time wetting a line, we've got you covered. We'll start by snagging some fresh bait from our secret spots before cruising out to a productive wreck just 3 miles offshore. Don't worry, we'll keep the shoreline in sight for those who prefer to stay close to land. Get ready to tangle with Black Drum, Cobia, Permit, Snook, Tarpon, and more. We provide all the gear, bait, and licenses, so all you need to bring is your A-game and a cooler for your catch!

What to Expect on the Water

Once we push off from the dock, it's go time. We'll make a quick stop to load up on live bait – nothing beats the real deal for enticing those big ones. Then it's a short ride out to our honey hole, a submerged structure that's home to a variety of gamefish. You'll be fishing in 20-40 feet of water, which means less waiting and more catching. Our experienced guides will show you the ropes, from rigging your line to setting the hook when you get that telltale thump. We'll mix it up throughout the day, trying different techniques to see what's working best. Bottomfishing, sight casting, even a little trolling if the conditions are right. With 8 hours on the water, you'll have plenty of time to dial in your technique and land that fish of a lifetime.

Top Catches This Season

Alright, let's talk about what's been biting lately. Our nearshore wrecks have been on fire for Cobia – these bruisers love to hang around structure and put up one heck of a fight. We've also been seeing some monster Black Drum, which are like bulldogs with fins. If you're lucky, you might even get a shot at a Permit, the holy grail of flats fishing. Snook and Tarpon are always possibilities, especially as we get into the warmer months. And don't sleep on the Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, and Tripletail – they might not be the biggest, but they're a blast to catch and taste great on the grill. We'll target whatever's biting best that day, but trust me, there's never a dull moment when you're fishing these waters.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been running charters in Naples for years, and I can tell you why folks keep booking with us. First off, we know these waters like the back of our hand. We're not just dropping lines randomly – we're putting you on fish, period. Second, we're all about hands-on learning. Want to try a new technique? We'll show you how. Never tied an FG knot? We've got you covered. By the end of the day, you'll be fishing like a local. And let's be real, there's something special about fishing a wreck. It's like a underwater oasis teeming with life, and you never know what might pop up next. Plus, with our nearshore location, you get all the excitement of offshore fishing without the long boat ride or seasickness. It's the best of both worlds, and that's why our regulars can't get enough.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Alright, let's break down some of the heavy hitters you might tangle with on this trip:

Cobia: These bad boys are like the prize fighters of the sea. They average 20-40 pounds but can push 100 if you're lucky. Cobia love structure, so wrecks are prime real estate for them. They'll test your drag and your biceps, often making multiple runs before you can get them to the boat. Best time to target them is spring through fall.

Black Drum: Don't let their ugly mugs fool you – these fish are a blast to catch. They use those barbels on their chin to root around the bottom for crabs and shrimp, and they'll happily take a bait if you put it in front of them. They can grow to over 100 pounds, but even the smaller ones put up a great fight. You can catch them year-round, but winter is prime time.

Tarpon: The "Silver King" is the ultimate gamefish for many anglers. These prehistoric beasts can top 200 pounds and are famous for their acrobatic leaps and long, stamina-testing fights. We see them most often from late spring through summer. Landing a big tarpon is a bucket list item for any serious angler.

Permit: If you hook into one of these, buy a lottery ticket because it's your lucky day. Permit are notoriously picky eaters and can spook at the slightest mistake. But if you do manage to fool one, hold on tight. They're like a pit bull with fins, all muscle and attitude. Spring and fall are your best bet for permit.

Snook: These guys are the rock stars of inshore fishing. They're ambush predators that love to hang around structure, making them perfect for wreck fishing. Snook hit hard and fight dirty, often trying to cut you off on any nearby obstruction. They're catch-and-release most of the year, with a short season in the fall. But don't worry, the fight alone is worth it.
