Fishing Opportunities Near Naples, FL

[MaxNewcomb]

Hi,

 

I am visiting Naples, Florida, with my best friend Luke. We drove all the way from Buffalo, New York, to chase fish. 
 

I have seen some articles, but curious to see where everyone suggests shore/bank fishing near Naples/SWFL in a more updated post. I have gear for everything, and interesting in catching just about everything. 
 

I’ll listen to everything. Everglades access spots off the road, community ponds that I won’t get kicked out of (right away), piers, beaches, drainage canals (bucket list for me to pull a hog largie out of one of these), and all of the above. Anywhere there is a fish to be caught, I intend to catch it. 
 

So, with the most serious gratitude, hit me with some spots! We promise to respect all the land, fish, people, and only shop locally for gear. 
 

Thanks!

Any of the everglades access roads offer some great fishing. Just have to hunt them down. Some are gated, some not. Google Earth can locate the areas but you won't know if they are gated unless you drive out to check them out. Naples to 75 east or alligator alley has areas that go along the canals. Same with Tamiami Trail. US 27 north and south is loaded with great places. Half the battle is in the hunt, the other half is in catching the fish. And there are some BIGGUNS off those levee roads!
