Naples and Marco Island Fishing Report Inshore, offshore and freshwater fishing report for the Naples and Marco Island area
Great Forecast ahead for month of October! Check it Out!
Posted October 7, 2008Well September has come and gone and now we are firmly entrenched in October. The Fishing in the Naples and Marco area should continue about the same as for September with a slight increase in our offshore fishing along with an increase in Redfish and a decrease in our Snook and Tarpon activity. Now remember this all depends on the weather and the abundance of bait in our water. If the temps stay high like they did last year then the Redfish that are here will be less active but the Snook and Tarpon will be more active. So far this has been the case. It looks as if at least for the next couple of weeks that the fishing in the Naples and Marco area is going to stay about the same with good numbers of Snook being caught from the back country to the beaches. The near shore wrecks will be producing on many fronts including some inshore species like Snook and Tarpon migrating out early getting ready for the winter slow down and some Redfish moving in to feed on the copious amounts of bait that will be their.

I Twittered a Hooters Waitress (And I Liked It)
Posted August 2, 2008The word “blog” has always sounded kind of gross, like the precursor sound to vomit. And for most blogs on the net (except for the ones on this fine newspaper’s website, of course!), that’s actually the case! But what about We The People of the short-attention span, “Generation-Youtube?” We don’t want to read another thousand-word indictment of Tim Kaine’s eyebrows or a tome about celebrity culture or even a blog about blogs. Except this one. Where are the concise Microblogs of the internet? Let me tell you about Twitter.
