I know a great guide in Naples, Todd Geroy, fishes the backwater bays and mangroves between Naples and Marco. He is VERY good. January is not the best for large fish...
I went with Todd in January 2 years ago. I must have caught 50 fish and 8-9 different species on a half day trip. Included was one redfish of about 28 inches caught in about 1 foot of water. Very, very cool. If I was better casting (under mangrove branches) there would have been more.
Went again last April and had a similar outing with larger snook. Again my casting was a problem...
