ABOUTNAPLES
Naples is the crown jewel of Southwest Florida—nestled on the sun-drenched beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. Naples is known for world-class shopping, dining and abundant, challenging golf courses. It is also only steps away from island seclusion or the untamed tropical wilderness of The Everglades. Boasting one of the nation's best sandboxes and calmest seas, Naples makes a splash with water lovers and recreationists. Friendly parks beckon sports enthusiasts and picnickers with lovely green spaces and recreational facilities.

 Come on in, the water's fine—for fishing! Yes, the temperate waters of the Gulf of Mexico provide a good year-round environment for a large number of catchable fish species. Whether your preference is fishing offshore over the wrecks or stalking lunkers in the backwaters, there's plenty of room for fishing in solitude. Naples has many experienced guides to help you catch that trophy. But if you want to explore on your own, there also are plenty of marinas and tackle shops for boat rentals, tackle and advice. And, if you would prefer, there are places where you can fish without a boat. Some of the more popular spots are our rivers and the Naples Pier. Many people also fish the canals, especially where and when the tidal currents are relatively strong. The beaches can also be productive, especially at dawn and at dusk. Whether your preferred technique is fly, spin, plug or bait, you will enjoy fine fishing in a great environment.
For the prospective visitor who is planning to do some fishing and/or boating, some of your earliest contacts should be with the many marinas, bait shops and tackle shops. Naples is blessed with many shops; some full-service and some highly specialized in their offerings. Many are located around Naples and many others are located north toward Bonita Springs or south toward Marco Island, Port of the Islands, Everglades City and Chokoloskee.
