Fall fishing is right on schedule. Inshore fishing in the back country fishing is pretty much as good as it gets here in the Naples area. On this day we double slammed out by 830am with all respectable fish. Some were even site finished which makes the game very interesting. The water is crystal clear Bait is everywhere and amazingly easy to get. The unreal fishing is not far away.

Our schedules are very open and flexible this time of the year. It doesn’t take long to book a trip or get to this amazing fishing!

Tight lines, please give us a call, the Capt Bedell’s!

The inshore and backcountry fishing in Naples and Marco have been nothing shy of spectacular this time of year! It just seems like every corner you go around you just are seeing quality fish like this 12 pound Snook caught this morning! We love this time of year, no one is on the water Bait is one and done and this is the reward.

September is one of our slowest months. Ironically fishing is becoming incredible fall is here and we are ready to take you and your family fishing!

Well being on the tail end of two hurricanes makes the fish very hungry. This happens all the time, every time we get a big storm and everything is stirred up for a while. Fishing is off the charts!

The offshore fishing has just slowly settle down we are going to start making some runs out there this week and looking for some more permit. In the meantime, we have been fishing the back which has been completely solid with a mess of Snook, redfish, jacks and all the mangrove snapper you want for dinner. Bait has still been extremely easy. We love this time of year! One and done on the pearl pilchards, it’s about as easy as it gets which makes fishing very consistent through the charters. This is our slow time of the year so our schedules are available for your parties, please give us a call if you would like to book any trips thank you tight lines Captain Wes!

We snuck out for probably one of the last permit trips of the summer. The Gulf is littered with hurricanes right now. Hopefully these fish will be around for a few more weeks with good weather pending. The back has been solid! There has been a plethora of beautiful pilchards everywhere you want to go. The Bait is one and done with all the pearls you need for a perfect day of fishing. There’s been lots of variety in the back, lots of Snook, juvenile Tarpon, jacks mangrove snapper and the fall redfish have started to show up as well. This is usually the off-season for us this time of the year but with everything that’s been going on we have been staying very steady. Lots of people shopping, a few booking. We have plenty of room in our calendars for your parties up to 4  Angler’s. This is the perfect time of the year to get on the water and catch some variety! Hope to see you all very soon, tight lines!

Thank you, Capt.  Wes!

On a Mission Charters had Michael Walker from the Jacksonville Jaguars on our boat last week. This was the second attempt out they lost some monsters the previous week. He was looking for some redemption, and found it!

The permit game has been solid in our region. Unfortunately, mother nature rain wind and unstable weather has prevented us from making it out there this week. So we have switched gears to the back. Some of the beach bait is growing in size and starting to be usable snook and redfish has been solid there has been a few Tarpon on the beach still plenty of things to find.

Please give us a call or email if you have any charter questions. Any of our captains are very knowledgeable and can help you with your questions on booking your personalized Charter.

Thank you, Capt and Wes Bedell

The Permit game in Naples Florida has been the complete go to! It’s real easy to go buy a few dozen crabs and go sight cast these beautiful fish. Also  been some very large barracudas on these wrecks that fill in the gap’s when the permit do not show right away.

The inshore game has become almost strictly artificial‘s. The bait in our region in Southwest Florida has vanished. We have been able to gold hook threads offshore when we can find them but those baits are just a little too big for the back country fish. The Tarpon on the Beach haven’t seem to mind them or the snook inn the passes. Also we have have been throwing a variety of soft plastics and top water plugs in the back depending on conditions.

It seems like everyone’s vacation plans are all over the board our calendars are ironically busy for the off-season fishing is very good right now and we usually take advantage of this on our own but luckily we are having some nice clients come down and book this beautiful weather!

Please call email or contact any of our captains at on a mission charters in beautiful Naples Florida, looking forward to hearing from you soon. tight lines Captain Wes!

On a mission is still on the Permit. To be honest, it’s been the easiest bait fishing we have at the moment. It’s just to easy to go buy a few dozen crabs and go put them to work. Sight casting is the norm, and our favorite. It seems our fish are a little deeper than usual. So we have been doing better just soaking them and waiting for the “drive by”

Are other bait-fishing has seemed impossible lately. The pilchards have seemed to left a month early. We have been getting very lucky and getting enough to use. Fishing is easy when you have them, but near impossible when you don’t. So please be patient. We have been going out 2 to 3 hours before our charter to try to locate it and still barely getting enough to use for our charter. We have been use of sabkis also to get threads and using them as well. The beach is loaded with 1 inch pilchards and we are waiting for those to grow.

Still been a few tarpon around as well, and we love that they eat crabs this time of the year.

It seems the world is opening back up, we are getting study calls and clients are traveling to Fish! If you are in the Naples, Florida area and you would like to book a charter, please feel to reach out to anyone of our captains.

Thank you,
The Captain Bedell’s!

Naples Florida Offshore and Inshore Fishing Charters

Some great fishing is still going on after the storm in Naples, Florida. Last week we took off because of unstable weather in the Gulf of Mexico. Strong winds and huge surf made it impossible to be on the water. We didn’t mind as we love to surf as well and, took advantage of the amazing waves.

As things settle, we are back at it. This is the biggest week of fishing for us. The new moon is this week and the best week to fish for Permit & Tarpon.  Anything else that swims for that matter. The Permit spawn on this moon, and eat like crazy! We take full advantage of those scenarios.

Our schedule next week is pretty jammed up but we do have some availability if someone wanted to sneak in and take advantage of this amazing fishing next week.

Please contact On A Mission Charter’s in beautiful Naples for all your fishing needs! 

Thanks, tight lines,

Fishing in Naples, Florida has been as good as it gets! With beautiful weather on both side of trips, we are at our favorite time of the year. With the start of our morning trips we have been fishing for Tarpon and monster Snook on the Beach. All of these site fishing challenges bring a intense feeling to the game. Just to watch these trophy fish eat at the boat is why we love our jobs. Look at these smiles, the stoke it is very real!

The spring transition into summer as some of the best fishing of the year. We look forward to these months these tides these fish all year long. It’s a very very special time of the year, and we love to pass these memories on to our clients.

The offshore fishing has been amazing as well. Permit continue to litter the Wrecks. Toss your crab into a school of 25 fish and watch them fight over it. Just about as good as it gets. There have been lots of other species to target when the permit are not cooperating. Barracudas, sharks, massive Jacks even some big cobia have been patrolling these Wrecks.

We have been fishing everywhere from Naples, Marco and to the 10,000 islands. If you are anywhere in this area please contact us for your amazing fishing experience.
