The inshore & offshore fishing in Naples, Florida remains solid. We have had a few small cold fronts come threw our area that has dropped the water temperatures and fired up the game fish.

With these temperatures dropping, some of our fishing has converted to shrimp & artificial. These methods have become a go to when the water drops into the 60s. With that said, come Sheephead, Blackdrum, Trout, Snapper, Tripletail, also been catching lots of nice Redfish & Snook as well. 

Our calendar is filling up fast for the Holiday Season & into 2021 Tarpon & Permit Season with our brand new 30ft Morgan to hit the On a Mission fleet! 

Hope to see you soon, 
Thanks Captain Wes

Thanksgiving has been week of the Sea Monsters! Great family time, all of these were team efforts. No shame in this game, if you need to hand it off. On a mission were sight casting all of these Bulls. Even had a 10 ft Tiger-shark eat at the boat. Very crazy! Nat-Geo stuff!

Along with these, are truckloads of Bonita’s and Spanish Mackerel. Even some cudas to fill the gaps. Even a few Tripletail to hunt as well! 

If the offshore is not your thing. The inshore and backcountry have been on fire as well! Big Snook and Redfish are around every bend. Jacks, trout, snapper also in the mix.

We have mutual boats & captains to suit every style of fisherman and angler. Please feel free to reach out to anyone of our captains and we are looking forward to getting you on the water!

Naples Offshore and Inshore Fishing Charters

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.

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.

The weather this last week was more like July then February. Slicked off conditions, water temperature still remain cool enough to have the gamefish close by.

Acres and acres of threads and pilchards have shown up in our region all on the inshore wrecks. Kingfish Spanish mackerel jacks in a variety of sharks are all right on their trail. It has been straight up king fish rodeos with quality fish coming to the boat.

Phones are still ringing off the hook, please try to get your calls in to enjoy this incredible experience. It’s only going to get better from here!!

Tight lines, Captain Wes

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 consistently gets better every day. Backcountry fishing has been staying very consistent with all of the usual suspects around. Redfish, snook, juvenile Tarpon and Jack’s of all sizes. If you want something to pull on a little harder, spinner sharks and black tips have been all over the beaches, all sight fishing in Crystal clear water. The Stone crab traps are being set out this week which means tripletail fishing should be incredible in the next few weeks. Our calendars are filling up steadily every day. The snowbirds are on their way down, book your trips as soon as possible.

Thank you,
Captain Wes

Feels like we woke up in October in July. Lots of quality Redfish have moved into town and they've been eating everything from live bait to flies. There are also lots of big Snook in the mix with them as well. Our backcountry fishery has been producing some stellar fish these past couple weeks. Bait has been tricky to catch but when you can find some you are guaranteed to catch quality fish. Summertime fishing in Naples, FL is always great!

Lots of quality fish offshore right now. Big jacks, Amberjacks, Cobia, Barracudas and of course Permit as well. Still quality fish inshore we’ve just been taking advantage of the beautiful weather by running offshore. Tarpon, Snook and Redfish are still around off the beach and in the backcountry. Gotta love summertime fishing in Naples, FL.

Every sector of our fishery has been exploding over these past couple weeks. We’ve been presented with consistent stellar weather and it’s been producing amazing fish. Inshore and nearshore there are plenty of Tarpon and Snook while offshore there are massive schools of hungry Permit. There has been no shortage of screaming drags around here! This is the best time to fish in Naples, FL.
