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!

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!
