There is NO LICENSE needed to fish of the pier. Lots of good spots to hook up down there. They have new chopping boards. Well light. Patrolled at night. Very safe.
We saw many people fishing & very few catches at Lowdermilk park (Naples Pier is a few miles further down the beach). You have to be mindful of the pelicans who want to snatch your fish on the way out of the water at the Pier. I would hire a charter if you want solid fishing action.
I see many people fishing from the Naples pier. They don't appear to catch many fish though. Not sure about Lowdermilk park but I think you can.
