On a Mission is gearing up for a great Thanksgiving week. The fishing in Naples Florida has been very special lately. Everything that swims is here and fattening up for winter. 

Offshore fishing: The inshore to offshore waters have been producing lots of gamefish. From Kingfish & Bonita’s to the great tasting Tripletail. Lots of fun size Sharks if you want to pull on something stronger. 

Backcountry fishing: The back has been of fire lately. Lots of big Snook & Redfish jus about everywhere. Lots of big Jacks to fill the gaps. 

We still have some room in our schedule this week to take some last-minute parties. We have a few afternoons open please don’t hesitate to book these charters immediately, they will go fast. Wishing everybody a Happy & safe  Thanksgiving, we will see you on the water.

Fall fishing is about as good as it can be. Beautiful weather, and fish everywhere!

Offshore fishing. Lots of gamefish in very close. Tarpon, Kingfish, Bonita’s, a variety of fun size sharks. Also the Tripletail. Amazing table fare, awesome sight fishing opportunities.

Backcountry fishing. All of the usual suspects are here. Snook, Redfish, Jack’s and even some micro Tarpon. The water has been clean, and the fish are chewing! 

We are getting booked for thanksgiving but have 2 boats in our fleet, and can accommodate large parties split on both boats. Or can bring another captain for larger parties. Looking forward to getting you out on the water soon. 

Thanks,
Captain Wes

Well here we are again with yet with another hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. 

We really don’t mind, it just shuts the fishing along the beach and inshore  down a little bit. The fishing in the back remains solid. Big snook lots of reds, & jacks around every corner, always something to pull on. Even some juvenile Tarpon. 

With the departure of tropical disturbance ETA. Fishing along the beach should go right back to normal. Tarpon sharks Bonita kingfish and triple tail will all be up for grabs. Our books are filling up completely for Thanksgiving we still have some half days available for that week so please if you and your family would like to get on the water with us please book accordingly! 

So we will see you on the water, happy holidays & tight lines!

Finally our first dose of winter weather this week. With blustery north east winds 25 to 30 kn all week, we are still getting it done. With a category three hurricane to the south and cold fronts to the north the weather has been dicey this week. We still have some trips and are still on the fish. 

With the water cooling this week will   have all the fish very active and starting to fattened up for the upcoming winter months. The offshore species include. Tarpon, Kingfish, Bonita, tripletail Spanish Mack’s & a variety of sharks if you feel like pulling on one of those. 

The inshore and back country species have been cooperating as well, Snook Tarpon, Redfish are everywhere & Jack’s & snappers fill in the gaps’s. 

Please call any one of our captains to book a trip of a lifetime, this is a great time of year to target multiple species! 

Fall fishing is here with full force. There’s so much bait and food everywhere, you just have to figure out what species you want to target.

The inshore waters are holding everything from Kingfish, Bonita, Spanish mackerel, sharks and some large tarpon. These fish are within 2 miles from the beach and very easy to access. We also run some trap lines and stumble across one of these beautiful tripletail. These fish offer amazing sight fishing opportunities and great table fair!

The back country has been completely off the charts as well. Snook, juvenile tarpon, big jacks, trout, mangrove snapper and the redfish are everywhere!

Season is coming the snowbirds are starting to show up and our calendars are filling up as well. Seems like life is getting back to normal down here in Florida and please give us a call to book any of your charters.

Thanks, Captain Wes

As we slip into October the water cools and the fish go insane! All the glamour spices are fired up when this happens. They have food everywhere. The bait has been so thick it’s crazy, very easy to get too!

Snook, tarpon and redfish have been owning everything! You can go anywhere with blacked out live wells and make something happen. I’m sure you’ve heard me say this before, we love this time of year!!

Our books have been getting back to normalcy. We have a very busy week this week and with two tropical systems in the Gulf we are praying for good fishing this week! Also praying for our fellow guides in Louisiana that are getting ready to get hit again! Stay safe, tight lines, Captain Wes!

Well I’m sure all of these reports this month are starting to blend together. I don’t mean to sound like a broken record but fall fishing is about as good as I’ve ever seen it or can even remember!

The red fishing right now is completely silly. To put it lightly they are like cockroaches, they are everywhere! They are in the bushes there are on docs the beaches in the pass is even some on the offshore wrecks! The latest fishing closures the last couple years these fish have completely flourished.

Offshore fishing has been consistent as well. As long as the weather cooperates we can get to where we need to go. The boys and I went out for a trip yesterday ran into massive massive schools of permit unfortunately crabs are very hard to get this time of the year so if you could find them you’re going to get them! Also lots of delicious Mangrove snapper for the dinner table and the kingfish and Cobia should be showing up shortly! We are gearing up for our new season. Florida is open and we are ready to take you and your family fishing. Please call any one of our captains to book your trip today! tight lines thank you Captain Wes.

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!
