[EXPIRED] Shoaling Reported in Doctors Pass, north of Naples, FL, 1/4/2013
Doctors Pass leads to shallow bays that do not connect to Naples Bay. Used mostly by smaller boats, Doctors Pass experiences regular shoaling, as Captains Caruso point out, and has to be dredged every few years. Gordon Pass, further south, is the primary inlet serving the Naples, Florida region.
As of 12-28-12 Doctors Pass has shoaled in on the south side of the pass between the 1 and 3 markers. The draft at mid tide last week showed just at 3′ to mid channel. We noticed sail boats hugging the north side and still getting some rock and roll as they come over the shoal.
