Peak Spring is here and we’re taking full advantage of it. We’re creeping up on our favorite month of the year to fish down here and things are lining up for an epic May. This is the time to pursue a bucket list Permit / Tarpon trip. There are many other targets this time of the year as well. There are still some schools of Cobia lurking around offshore and still some kingfish as well. Inshore Snook fishing has been great as well. No matter the given conditions you can always find a bite this time of the year. We have a couple slots left for the end of April and availability’s f ..read more

The spring rush has been real and the start of the spring season has been off to a great start. The fishing has been fantastic and will only continue to get better as we progress further into spring. What’s so great about the spring is the amount of options we have available. From fishing the backcountry all the way out to the gulf there’s happy fish willing to comply wherever you’d like to fish! The Permit have shown up in full force offshore and have been stealing the spotlight out there. On the calm days we’ve been able to sight fish them out of massive schools which is always ..read more

It’s been the same story this whole winter thus far. Nonstop cold fronts have kept things cool and rough but we’re still making it work. Fishing nearshore wrecks and the backcountry have kept things in motion and have kept rods bent! There have been many good meals caught recently with lots of Snapper and Sheepshead around. We’ve also had a lot of sharks around to add a little bit of sport into our charters as well. Still some stray Cobia and Snook being caught to fill the gaps. One thing we have to look forward to is once this wind subsides the Cobia and Permit fishing will be epic ..read more

Old man winter has shown up a little earlier than anticipated but it’s not slowing down the fishing! The cold fronts have been pretty brutal and consistent over the past month. Cooler temperatures and rough conditions offshore mean we switch up our game and adapt! We’ve been fishing our winter time haunts in the backcountry and they’ve been producing Snook, Sheepshead, Trout, and Redfish. When the wind will let up and allow us offshore there will be a great Sheepshead and snapper bite offshore. This makes for great action and great table fare as well. On top of that the cold water pela ..read more

With the recent temperature drop down into the high 40s and nothing but stiff north wind for the foreseeable future it’s safe to say winter is here. As we move into winter fishing things will change inshore and offshore. Lots of backcountry fish will head way back into the shallow creeks seeking refuge from the cold and dirty water. Our prime inshore targets during the winter are Redfish, Trout, and sheepshead with some Snook mixed in as well. Offshore fishing in between the fronts when the wind lets up can be extremely good. When you get a chance to get out there after things have be ..read more

Fall fishing is in full swing down here in Naples, FL. The recent cool down in temperature has been a nice change of pace for everyone, including the fish! All of the typical fall suspects are around. Offshore we're seeing nice schools of Cobia on the wrecks with lots of other options to fill the gaps as well. Bonitas, Barracudas, Jack's, Goliath's, Snook, Mackerel, Snapper and triple tail have all been common catches on our recent offshore and nearshore trips. Inshore fishing has been very solid as well with many fish heading deeper into the backcountry in anticipation of winter. Sno ..read more

Mid September fishing report for Naples, Florida. We are still in that summer – fall, transition. Great fishing opportunities around any corner.  With us being right in the middle of September and right in the middle of summer and fall we’re still having the opportunities of several fish still hanging around.  The OAM team stumbled across a large school of free swimming permit just a few days ago. Conditions were absolutely insane. The fish were bobbing, tailing, floating and eating every crab that hit the water. Many doubles and triples on deck!  Also, on these transi ..read more

The mid July fishing report for Naples, Florida. It’s been extra hot down here this time of year, but so is the fishing. Our focus has and is still in the Permit game. Still large fish and schools in our area. These trips require booking at least a 6 hour minimum. Of course full days work too. It’s jus difficult for us to find these fish on half days.  We’ve even been running into some either late season in Cobia or early season in Cobia. Either way we are not upset about that. These fish make for amazing site fishing opportunities and always good on the table.  There have a ..read more

June to July transition has been a pleasant mixed bag. We love the month of July, that’s when we get our biggest Permit of the year. Seems like the big girls like the month of July. We have been capitalizing on some larger fish from 38 to 40 inches the big bruisers are here!  Also between the permit frenzies, we’ve been getting a nice mixed bag of just about everything that swims right now. Massive jacks, drag screaming, barracudas. Golias that will make you hug the gunnel with everything you’ve got, even a few straggler Cobia have showed up in the mix. While we’re talking ab ..read more
