NIGHT REEF & WRECK FISHING
(YEAR-ROUND)

Nothing is more exciting than a productive night spent fishing the nearshore wrecks and reefs just off the Southwest Florida Coast. Night fishing these areas offers some of the best Snapper and Grouper action to be had. Cobia, giant Barracuda, Sharks, Amberjack, and even some other occasional visitors including Bonito and Blackfin Tuna can all be had on a single night.

When it comes to bringing home top-notch table fare there isn't much than beat a nice cooler of Mangrove, Yellowtail, Mutton, and Red Snappers. Red and Gag grouper, Cobia, and the occasional mackerel will also make an appearance on night trips to these waters. A good rule of thumb for fishing offshore reefs and wrecks, especially at night, is you really never know what you will hook into. For specific trips targeting large sharks, please see our Monster Shark Fishing Trip.
