I also recommend a side trip to a place called the Fackahatchy strand (I'm sure I'm spelling that wrong). Not for fishing, just one of the coolest places I've ever been. I read about it in the book called "the orchid thief" (later made into the movie Adaptation). It's only about 1-2 hours drive from Naples. It is an 11 mile stretch of dirt road straight thruogh the Fackahatchy swamp. Easy to spot on a map. We saw so many cool things, gators , orchids, bromiliads, etc. A real jungle in there and no one else was there. Very primitive, very cool.
