SW Fla vacation-__fishing/red tide

[Parker Greenhead]

Hi all- I have a vacation planned in Naples in February. Have gone bottom fishing with my two boys previously out of Naples. Looking to do some different types of fishing this year. Any suggestions for inshore/backwater? Charter boat recommendations from Marco to ft. Myers? How is red tide and is it affecting the fishing? Coming from New England, boys are 14 and 12 and used to striped bass / bluefish fishing. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Just heard on the news that the Red Tide is gone in the Tampa Area so imagine it is clear everywhere.
