Everglades Snook

Lee, from Naples, got plenty of action today with redfish and snook. The trout and snook had to be released due to closed season. However, pictured is Lee with a nice 33 inch snook caught on a jig near Lostmans River. He and company went home with a nice bag of redfish, sheephead, and black drum. A rainy morning ended up with a fine everglades fishing day.

Snook and Redfish

The past 2 days were some good everglades fishing days for Eliot and company. Pictured is a 27 inch snook and some nice redfish up to 28 inches caught on live bait and shrimp near Pavilion Key. Windy weather didn't stop the good everglades fishing. Quite a few reds were caught between Chatham River and Everglades City, mostly on jig and shrimp.

First Snook

A limit of redfish and many more slot reds released tells about the day Hugh, Jason, and son John had this day. Most fish were caught near Rogers River but everywhere we stopped produced some nice fish. The catch this day also include a nice flounder as well. All were caught on a jig and shrimp. Pictured is 13 year old (6ft. 1in.) John with his very first snook. A good beginning and a very good everglades fishing day.

Everglades Snook in May

It's that time of year when the snook are on the move to the passes and beaches for the spawning season. Today, we caught some nice snook near Chatham River on gold reflecto spoons. Pictured are George and Dick, Mo., with a 29 and 30 inch snook. They caught several snook this morning all on the gold spoon. They were fly fishing but only small reds were interested. A good everglades fishing day.

Everglades Fishing for Tarpon

Most of this month was spent tarpon fishing near the Shark River. We hooked and caught many tarpon all on artificial lures. Most were small in the 50 to 70 lbs range but some were brutes. All of the tarpon fishing was done in rivers, creeks, and bays in the backcountry and in waters less than 5 feet deep. They are still here and I am still tarpon fishing. Will have some photos but I try to revive and release them as soon as they are caught so the survival rate is better without photo sessions.

Good everglades fishing in May and June.

Snook on the Move

It was a good day for plug casting for snook and reds the past few days. The snook are in the backcountry but have started migrating to the outside for spawning season. This makes for some good everglades fishing. Today Wilson and Ricardo, Brazil, got into them. Pictured is Wilson with his very first snook caught on a fancy lure from Brazil. The fish was caught near Harney River. Also caught were some nice redfish up to 20 inches on RipTide Jigs, smokey and new penny.
