Busting the Myth: Inshore Fishing is Just “Small-Time” Angling

Many folks assume inshore fishing means just catching small fish close to shore — but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Naples’ inshore waters, including the peaceful back bays, mangrove-lined estuaries, and the edge of the Gulf of Mexico, are home to some of the most exciting and sought-after fish species in Florida. From snook and redfish to spotted sea trout and tarpon, the variety is spectacular — and the challenge is real.

The Local Playground: Why Naples is Perfect for Inshore Fishing

Naples boasts a unique coastal ecosystem where the Gulf of Mexico meets vast estuaries and calm bays. Places like the Gordon River, Naples Bay, and the Ten Thousand Islands offer perfect habitats for inshore species to thrive. When you fish with Anchor Charters of Naples, you’re not just out in open water — you’re exploring some of Florida’s most productive and beautiful fishing grounds.
