Everglades Fishing Season

Speckled trout will open up on January 1st so if this is your "bag" call for a date.
Snook will open up on March 1st and tarpon season is just around the corner.  I have some of my tarpon tides booked but still have some openings in April and May.  Everglades tarpon start showing up around mid to late March and will stay till the rainy season which start in June.  I have caught them in numbers till July.
For an Everglades fishing charter call this everglades fishing guide.

Cold Front Fishing

Richard's redfish was 1/64 of an inch of release.  Also, Jeremy's 26 inch redfish was a fine catch as well.  Thuy, not pictured, caught grouper, snapper, redfish, and other species while on this trip.  This everglades fishing trip was cut to a half day as the approaching cold front had winds of 25 knots and we made it back to the dock with most of us dry.

Redfish in October

Everglades fishing for redfish in October is the greatest.  For the past 3 days we have come back with our limit of redfish each day and the size was from 23 inches to 27 inches.  Also, some good snook fishing.  No trout due to the 20 knot winds messing up the grass flats.

Reds in September

A good Everglades fishing trip for September, especially after the storms we have been having.  Pete and cousin Mike, Naples, worked for their reds but came home with a bag limit of 26 and 25 inchers.  They also broke some off.  Smaller fish were caught but fun to catch.  These fish were caught on shrimp near Lostmans River.  Too muddy and 2 ft. ground swells prevented us from fishing further south.  Lots of fresh water, too.

Fay's Impact on Everglades Fishing

Lots of fresh water!  Dark water everywhere.  Snook fishing is good though.  The Ten Thousand Islands produced some good numbers the past few days.  Redfish are on the outside islands and if the new hurricane will leave us alone those large redfish will stay with us for the next 2 months.  They have been caught on fresh live shrimp.  Trout are hard to come by as the flats are too hot.  However, you may pick up some ladyfish for bait while fishing for trout.

Everglades Redfish

Today was a slow morning.  We started trout fishing and after 7 different grass flats we had no trout.  Plan B, however, managed to "drum" up some nice redfish for Richard and company, Ft. Myers.  The reds were caught on shrimp and cut ladyfish.  Company did hook into some very respectable snook and reds.  A nice everglades fishing trip.

Everglades fishing for snook

We caught snook and reds all day long.  Mat (Orlando), Eric (Wauchula), and Ed (Bartow) were a happy Everglades fishing charter.  The keeper sized snook were released and the keeper sized redfish were kept for a fine fried fish dinner.  Why, this Everglades fishing charter made me catch a 30 inch snook as seen in the photo. Yesterday, these anglers got plenty of trout from 18 inches up to 22 inches so they did not keep trout today.  Guide David also got in on the action with a juvenile tarpon caught at my dock to complete his grand slam for today, see photo.  Call this Everglades fishing guide.

Everglades fishing for Reds and Snook

We fished hard today and started with Everglades trout near Plover and got some 20 inchers.  We also fished south of Plover and got more.  My party, Joe and Evan, Georgia, enjoyed those everglades trout but we wanted everglades snook and everglades redfish to go along with the trout.  We went after bait and got some mullet near Bird Key with a cast net and went to "chunkin".  This means we cut up the mullet into bite sized pieces for those everglades snook and redfish.  We put them on a 3/8 ounce jig and a circle hook and proceeded to "chunk" them out there.  Well, nothing.  We moved and moved and moved.  All the way to Rogers River and nothing.  Everglades fishing let us down?  No way.  The waters were beautiful, green clear and some chalky color.  This was excellent color.  I hate clear water as the fish can see the boat from 100 feet away.  Everglades fishing, everglades fishing, everglades fishing, did you abandon us?  No!  Well, the wind shifted and went from 10 knots to 20 knots out of the southwest.  Misery!  What a ride!  Three foot rollers does not agree with a 20 flats boat.  We slowed down and started fishing one mangrove clump at a time.  Success.  We got into some nice everglades snook and some nice everglades redfish along the beaches from Lostmans River all the way to Graveyard Point.  What a happy Everglades fishing charter this turned out to be.  We ended up with some very nice everglades trout and some nice everglades redfish and snook.  I will repeat this again tomorrow, only I can do this closer to home.  Call this everglades fishing guide.
