When the weather cooperates we are still on the Cobia. We have been sneaking out between the cold fronts and capitalizing on this amazing Offshore Fishery for this time of the year. 

It hasn’t been a far run for these fish. A 15-20 minute run on a well-placed wreck with the perfect baits we can capitalize on these opportunities. We have caught  multiple doubles this week, not huge fish but great size for light tackle and even one for the table! These inshore wrecks can hold multiple species. Goliath grouper, snook, snapper, permit, barracudas, and sharks of all flavours! 

Now, I know you’ve heard me say this before. With beautiful weather comes awful weather. With that awful weather, it is showing up tomorrow. We are getting ready to switch gears and get thrown in full blown winter. With this next front water temperatures will be dropping between five and 10° water will be dirty and cold. 

This is when we concentrate our efforts on the back country fishing. We switch gears and use shrimp for bait which catch all kinds of amazing table fair this time of year. Trout, Snapper, sheephead, black drum, pompano and other few tasty critters out there for the table! 

Contact us today to plan your Naples fishing charter. The calendar is filling up through the holiday season.

Thank you the Bedell Captains! 

The OAM team had a solid week of fishing here in Naples, Florida. The week started out with beautiful Fall weather. Calm winds and fair seas allowed use to go where we needed to for some incredible offshore fishing. The Fall Cobia run has started. We are seeing nice packs of fish. Cobia eating everywhere. Top and bottom. Most fish are all cookie cutter slot fish from 31-35 inches. With the 33 being the keeper slot, some made it home for dinner. 

Of course, with nice weather comes awful weather. We were able to pen pilchards up with upcoming weather. This helps us have bait for your charters with it blowing 30 we can still hide in the backcountry and get rewarded with beautiful Snook and Redfish.

Our calendars are very busy thru Thanksgiving and into the 1st of December. We also have two sister boats and can sneak you into if needed. 

Thank you. Tight lines.
