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

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. 

Thank you and tight lines,

Naples, Florida Fishing Charters

May fishing has still been on fire. Large numbers of these beautiful permit are still patrolling most of the wrecks in our region. Life is slowly coming back to normal, we are getting back on the water with clients. We are doing about 3 to 4 trips a week for the next few weeks, we still have some spots available if anyone wants to go target some permit! We are still practicing social distancing on our vessel with our tower 15 feet in the air. We load you up with a crab, stand you on the bow, and we can see the fish coming and give sight fishing orders. Very exciting!

Looking forward to getting you out on the water.

Tight lines,

Naples Florida Inshore and Offshore Fishing Charters

On a Mission fishing charters in Naples, Florida had the pleasure to fish the legend UFC fighter Clay the carpenter Guida last week. We went out looking for permit, had to settle for Bonita and barracudas.

Offshore has been good when the winds corporate. All of the spring fish are showing up. It’s quite sad with all of this CV-19 all around us. Charters have come to an almost complete stop. Our ramps are still open, we are fishing for fun and sport just to stay in-tuned to what’s going on out there.

On a Mission will be doing discounted charters for locals and Floridians. If you are from Naples or from Florida we will be offering a 15% discount to all charter’s. We also have gift certificates available for when all of this clears up.

All of the captains from on a mission also supply a sightseeing and boat cruise/sunset tours for people wanting to just get out of the house. No fishing required. If you are interested please go check out, Off the beaten path. Naplessightseeingtours.com

Hopefully this will all be over soon and we can all be enjoying more time on the water, take care, tight lines, stay safe, Captain Wes.

Well just like clockwork, the Tarpon have shown up. The weather and water have been as clean as is gets! We are not seeing the huge numbers like May & June, but enough fish to target in the mornings. Permit are showing up on the wrecks offshore, same story as the tarpon, few fish hear and there. Water temps just aren’t where they need to be yet.

There also have been some king fish barracuda Bonita and lots of sharks on all of the offshore wrecks.
Backcountry game has been good when you can get away from the traffic. With this pandemic there is been a huge flux of everyone going on their boat because that is all there is to do. We have had lots of cancellations, we have rebooked those trips, and then have them cancel again, we are still able to work. I do have some availability left please if you would like to get out and enjoy some beautiful weather and an amazing fishing please give us a call.

Thank you. tight lines,
Captain Wes!

The offshore game is starting to come alive. Barracudas, Bonita’s, sharks, even some permit started showing up.  We have been stocked full of these drag screaming game fish. The wind has been light. The seas have been calm, and the game fish have been cooperating. We’ve been seeing some very large schools of permit tailing, bobbing but just not interested yet. Hopefully this week we will be able to close that deal.

In the back. Has been steady as well. Snook jacks trout pompano sheep head redfish mackerel have all been steady characters in the back. Even a few juvenile tarpon have shown up.

We have obviously had a few cancellations with this world scare going on. Also have had a flux of Floridians and locals filling those gaps. We still have some availability in the next few weeks so please come get some great fishing and clean air!!
