Fishing Report, Naples

By Capt. Jake Mercer , Mangrove Line Charters · 9/22/2026
We were out fishing a hundred miles offshore with Mike and Bryan. We slaughtered everything. We got snapper, we got tilefish, we got blue marlin, we got tuna, we got sailfish. We caught everything.
Then we went by a shrimp boat and traded a beer for a hundred pounds of shrimp and the trip was amazing. The gas was free because we siphoned it down from my dumb neighbor, hahaha.
Great trip, looking forward to the next one.
