Trout, Snook, and Redfish

It is now a common day to have a swamp slam (trout, redfish, and snook) all in one day.  This is what Alex, Nick, and Kevin, Chicago did today.  The largest snook was 29 inches, largest red was 26 inches, and the largest trout was 23 inches.  Pictured are the trio with a fine mess of trout and redfish.  The snook were released.  Also hooked into some tarpon on the flats.  A fine everglades fishing day.

Everglades Tarpon

This has been a good month for everglades tarpon.  Many migratory tarpon have shown up in the Everglades and many have been jumped and caught.  Arnold and Greg, Mass., caught some today up to 130 lbs.  Pictured is Arnold with a "little" 75 pounder.  The fish caught on a lure and was released to grow up.  Fishing was done in the Shark River.  A fine everglades fishing day.

May Good for Reds and Trout

Will (West Palm Beach) and Max (New England) caught some nice trout and reds today. The grass flats have been producing some nice trout up to about 25 inches and reds (shorelines) up to about 27 inches. These anglers kept only a few for a fine fish supper tonight.

Great Trout Action

May is a great time for trout.  The average size for everglades trout measures 18 to 22 inches.  It is not uncommon to get them up to 28 inches.  This couple caught a nice one.  Everglades fishing at its finest.

Everglades Tarpon

Everglades tarpon are here!  I did not take new photos of caught tarpon since it was too important to revive a tarpon than getting photos of it.  All the tarpon this week were released alive and well.  All were caught on lures, mostly yellow and red.  These are musky lures.  All were fished near the Shark River about an hour and a half south of Everglades City.  Harsh weather did not stop the tarpon from slamming our lures.  Winds up to 35 knots made for some interesting fishing.  However, all fishing was done in protected waters.  Some fine everglades fishing.
