Florida Fishing Report

Stay up to date with the latest activity on the water through Captain Steve Gould’s detailed fishing reports. These updates are built from firsthand experience, offering helpful insight on where the fish are biting, what techniques are working best, and what weather or water conditions to keep in mind. Whether you're prepping for a trip with Trophy Time Charters or planning to fish on your own, these reports can give you a clear edge.

Captain Steve covers fishing conditions across Marco Island, Naples, and Everglades City, offering a close-up look at what’s happening in this productive region of Florida. From bait suggestions to seasonal patterns, his observations help anglers understand shifts in fish behavior, movement, and feeding habits. His reports also highlight common species seen on recent charters—like tarpon, snook, redfish, and speckled trout—along with notes on the most active times of day.

Florida’s year-round fishing is made possible by its warm climate and range of habitats, from nearshore bays and creeks to the open Gulf. With so many species available, each month offers something different. Spring and fall are often favored for tarpon and redfish, while summer can be excellent for snook and mangrove snapper. Captain Steve’s local knowledge ensures each report reflects the current moment on the water—not just general trends.

Trophy Time Charters and More offers a variety of guided trips designed for anglers of all skill levels. From 4-hour nearshore excursions to multi-day tarpon trips, our options range from $500 to $1000 depending on duration and target species. No matter which trip you choose, you’ll be fishing with a guide who’s fully dialed into local conditions—something you can see for yourself in Captain Steve’s ongoing reports.
