The great fishing continues to light up our region. Not the usual norm around here the last week or so, water temps in the mid 70s air temps in the mid 80s it almost feels like summer around here.

That is getting ready to change tomorrow. We are getting blasted with record lows in the 40s I’m sure our water temps will drop drastically. Once the front passes through fishing should remain amazing with cooler water temperatures and dirty water for a few days the fish will be starving by the weekend. My phone has been ringing off the hook with the arrival of the Super Bowl just across the state in a few weeks clients are starting to book us up! Please contact your parties and get us in the book as quickly as possible.

Thank you very much tight lines,
Capt Wes Bedell

Well we finally got blasted with what I will call the first big cold front of the year. Temperatures plummeted in our region, water temps 10° air temperature 20° lows in the 50s last week and some incredibly negative tides put on a redfish extravaganza like it’s supposed to be.

We had incredibly good fishing last week with the cold water. The fish seem to be starving and did not mind artificial or live shrimp. It seems like the warming trend is already back with forecast in the 80s for the next 10 days. I hate to say this but winter feels over already, looks like we’re going to be having an early spring.

Lots of triple tail still around in our area and the snook bite is good as well,  not really any large fish but lots of numbers, big jacks are patrolling everywhere in the back. Offshore has been good as well when you can get out there. Kingfish and cobia have been in the mix but wind conditions will not let us travel there. We will be taking delivery of our new 28 foot Morgan in just a few months and will be able to dominate a little bit further offshore with a lot more consistency.

Our calendars are getting very full for this next month so please give us a call if you have any Charter questions.

Thank you and tight lines,
Captain Wes

Fishing in our region the last couple weeks have been not the typical December weather . We have been in a summer, fall almost pattern for the last few weeks, water temps have been in the mid 70s we have been strictly using pilchards, the water has just been too warm for the shrimp.

The backcountry fishing has been absolutely on fire, big Snook big  redfish big jacks have been the staple these last few trips . We are starting to see some cold fronts and some cooler water and for the future trips the next few weeks we will be going back-and-forth between shrimp and pilchards. Shrimp in the morning trips and pichards in the afternoon when everything warms up.

Season is in full swing, the snowbirds are here. Please book your trips accordingly if you know your parties best available day please let us know as soon as possible our calendars are getting extremely busy .

Thank you, tight lines. Captain Wes

This is the time of the year where we catch lots of good table fair using shrimp is great bait to use this time of the year the waters cooler the fish are moving slower and want that easy meal. We have been fishing rock piles docks anything that holds sheep head black drum trout redfish even some snook in the mix. Our calendar is extremely packed this time of the year but we do have some spaces available please call as soon as possible for your earliest bookings.

Thank you tight lines,

Mid November fishing report: triple tail fishing remains very consistent between the fronts. It seems all of the barely legal fish from last season are all between seven and 9 pounds. Amazing eating fish and my clients have not been complaining. We have been averaging at least one of these fish per Charter, and have lost some monsters!!

Backcountry fishing remains very good. We are right on the cusp of pilchards and shrimp. Water temps have been in the mid70s so shrimp have been working too.  Lots of mixed bag on the shrimp from Pompano sheephead  black drum and trout! We are definitely heading into our winter pattern!

So happy Thanksgiving everyone we are very busy this week hopefully we’ll hear from you soon!

Tight lines, Captain Wes!

The first cold front has made its way through our region. Fishing remains as solid as ever. Redfish are everywhere, it seems like sometimes we can’t get away from them, it’s not a bad thing! Lots of Snook and Jack’s fill in the gap’s.

Offshore and near shore, The inshore Wrecks have been providing lots of mangrove snapper, Sheephead some Spanish mackerel and even some Wreck Snook. Running to those spots we’ve been in countering lots of triple tail with some studs mixed in..

Please send a message through our website or give us a call to book your trips!

Awesome fall fishing in Southwest Florida in November! The water temperatures are cooling and the fish are extremely happy. Everything has been chewing really good lots of Snook and redfish around to keep everyone busy. Bait still remains everywhere which makes our days very easy. Inshore wrecks are providing Spanish mackerel mangrove snapper and even some wreck Snook. Triple tail are also starting to show up not huge fish but definitely some numbers and keepers coming to the table.

Naples Inshore and Offshore Fishing Charters

Fishing in Naples Florida has been constantly getting better every week with these Fall conditions. Bait has been everywhere, our water quality has been on point, and the fishing has shown. Redfish, Snook and juvenile tarpon along with as many jacks as you want control the back country. 

Inshore and some of the close wrecks been holding lots of mangrove snapper, Spanish mackerel a few Cobia and our favourite, the triple tail have been showing back up. So please reach out to Captain Weston Bedell, Captain Perry Bedell or myself Captain Wes Bedell to book your charters.

We are looking forward to hearing from you, tight lines! 

Fishing in Naples & Southwest Florida in our region has been on fire. All the usual suspects are around and hungry. It seems like the snook and redfish have taken over the whole area. They appear to be on every shoreline Back Bays, cuts and all over the beaches! 

The nearest sure wrecks and close offshore spots been holding lots of mangrove snapper, Spanish mackerel a few cobia the king fish should be showing up any day! 

Our calendars are filling up by the day, season is here a lot earlier than it was last year please book your trips accordingly.

Thank you,
Captain Wes

An abundance of redfish have littered our area. It seems like they are on every shoreline and eating every single thing you have to throw at them. Flies, Gulps and pilchards are all working well. It seems like the artificial‘s have been working better, there’s been so much live bait around that it’s everywhere. So something out of the norm has been working really good. 

Tarpon are starting to show up in some of our spots to the north. A few colleagues have been putting up huge numbers which means they should be in our region any day now. The Stone crab traps go out next week which means triple tail will be number one staple for the dinner table. 

We are starting to fill up for fall, please book your trips accordingly. 

Thanks,
Captain Wes
