Our backcountry fishery continues to produce quality snook and redfish day after day. There has also been a truck load of bonita that have moved in which provide endless drag screaming right off the beach. The permit and Tarpon are here as well we just need clients who want to fish for them. The water is clean, the weather is warm and most importantly the fish are happy and hungry. Spring is an incredible time to fish in Naples, Florida.

Naples Inshore & Offshore Fishing Charters

We wait for these months all year. Finally, The stars aligned and everything came together for one of the best weeks of permit fishing I have ever seen. Truckloads, upon truckloads of permit everywhere. It's probably been over a decade since I have seen the numbers of fish in our area right now. Call it the hurricane, call it conservation, or I'm not sure what you call it but we are not complaining. 20 fish tagged and released this week with many more monsters lost. I do have a few days available left this month if someone would like to take the permit trip of a lifetime, this is the time of the year to do it.

Naples inshore and offshore fishing charters with Capt. Wes Bedell.

With the offshore kingfish bite all dried up today, we switch things up and found a few of these along with some nice trout and snook & jacks! ​

Inshore and backcountry fishing in the Naples and Marco Island area has been great this time of year as the weather cools down a bit. The bait floods in and the snook and redfish are ambushing as they push around corners or mangrove edges.

In the Naples, Florida area we are having a great time fishing the wrecks and reefs! Right now we are targeting permit but have some incredible bi-catch such as barracuda and sharks. I look forward to getting you on the water! Inshore are catching snook, tarpon and redfish.
