Everglades Snook

2011-12-10T20:54:00.002-05:00

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.

Snook and Redfish

2011-12-02T20:48:00.000-05:00

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

2011-11-11T17:21:00.002-05:00

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.

Doledrum Days of August

2011-08-17T06:58:00.003-04:00

Or, should I say red drum (redfish) days of August. It may be hot but so is everglades fishing. Today was the day for Xristos, Penn. He is pictured with a nice 32 inch, 10lb, redfish. His brother-in-law, Bill caught this nice 23 inch red which made it to the dinner table. Not pictured is Jim, OH., who caught several slot limit redfish. These anglers also caught some nice trout as well. Today we fished north of Lostmans River.

Everglades Snook in May

2011-05-28T06:16:00.002-04:00

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

2011-05-25T06:42:00.002-04:00

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

2011-04-27T04:53:00.000-04:00

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.

Cool Front Turn on the Snook and Reds

2010-11-06T07:59:00.001-04:00

We started out at 53 degrees this morning and the water was 67 degrees. The cool front made for tough conditions to fish with 20 knot winds and muddy waters but everglades fishing was good. Plenty of places to fish out of the wind. Pete, from Lynn Haven, and Dave, from Vernon, made sure they caught their share of reds and snook. Pete's snook weighed 12 lbs and Dave's red was 4 lbs. All snook were released and a limit of reds went home to the frying pan. These fish hit hard on shrimp and jig and also on fresh cut ladyfish. Most of the fishing was south of Everglades City between Houston and Lostmans Rivers. A fine everglades fishing day.

Reds and Snook Still Slammin

2010-11-03T03:45:00.000-04:00

It was another typical everglades fishing day with Stephanie, Dick, and Francis, Miami & Ft. Lauderdale. It was a 50+ redfish day and some nice snook too. All were caught on jib and shrimp or cut ladyfish. We fished near Lostmans River all the way back to Everglades City and caught fish in most of the fishin holes. Pictured is Dick and Francis with snook. Not pictured is Stephanie cause she was too busy catching reds and did not slow down for a photo.

Snook and Redfish Hit Hard

2010-10-24T05:29:00.003-04:00

Barry, Sam, and Hanna, Sarasota were out to have a great everglades fishing day. They did. Fishing was very slow the past two days but they caught some redfish, trout, snook, and black drum. Most were on the small side but a few made it to the dinner table. Pictured above is Hanna with a nice red and a nice snook.

Redfish Slammin

2010-10-23T05:21:00.002-04:00

All week we have been slammin those redfish on shrimp and jig. No matter where we went we caught redfish. From Rabbit Key to Harney River there were redfish. There were some snook and a few trout mixed in but the redfish were predominant. Everglades fishing is good.

No oil here

2010-10-11T19:50:00.002-04:00

The fishing is great, the weather is great, and there is no oil. So, the everglades fishing is some fine outdoor experience. We are catching snook, trout, redfish, and the rest of them. No tarpon due to their migratory routes.

Check out my photos. Some good everglades fishing.

Snook Hit Shrimp

2010-10-07T19:27:00.002-04:00

We went south today to fish for reds and caught everything including trout, reds, sheephead, drum, and snook. Pictured is Ed from Bartow with a nice snook. All the fish were caught on jig and shrimp. The snook were mostly in the 25 inch to 28 inch size but some I estimate that got off were larger. Today the largest red was 27 inches. These fish were caught south of Lostmans River. The waters started getting calmer and more clean and I think that trout will be a good bet in about 2 days. Ed and company came home with a limit of reds and some black drum. A good everglades fishing day.

Reds on the Move

2010-10-06T19:20:00.000-04:00

Today we caught a number of reds up to 25 inches. These fish were caught on a jig and shrimp. Most of the fish were caught around Harney River but we caught fish all the way back to Everglades City. Pictured is Tim from Ft. Myers with some nice reds and some black drum and sheephead. We also caught some small snook up to 26 inches but no slot fish. The grass flats were very muddy since the wind blew at about 20 knots so we did not fish for trout. A good everglades fishing day.

Reds and Trout are Biting

2010-06-17T07:08:00.000-04:00

There are lots of tarpon around and JD and dad, Dave, Illinois, found some. Pictured is about an 80 pounder which took a musky lure. Bad photo but I was in a hurry to get the tarpon revived and set free. It was caught in one of many small creeks connected to the Shark River. They jumped 10 tarpon and caught two today.

Trout are good, sheephead are great, but snook and reds are excellent. Today, Francis, Garland, Ft. Lauderdale, and Pat, Boston (all have been fishing with me for 15 years) got into some nice snook and reds. Some of the reds were too big to stop and headed for China.

2010-04-12T15:39:00.000-04:00

Robert, Arizona, caught some nice trout, snook, and very nice upper slot limit redfish today. Getting the limit was no problem. The largest snook was in the slot but due to a temporary closure the fish was released. This equates to the "swamp slam" (redfish, trout, and snook).

All Fish are Getting Active

2010-03-15T13:25:00.001-04:00

Vance and dad, Odell, from Labelle, got a taste of some fine everglades fishing. They caught several keeper size redfish, trout, black drum, and sheephead today. All of the species were caught near Lostman's River and they were using shrimp and jig and rubber jigs. As the waters warm up the fishing will improve dramatically. This winter has proved to be a very good fishing season but spring will be even better. Tarpon will be showing up soon and hopefully the snook will come out of the woodwork.

Everglades Fishing Repeat

2010-02-09T20:34:00.002-05:00

It has been the same thing every day this week. Sheephead, redfish, trout, black drum. Very repetitive. Go to a grass flat, catch some trout, then, the river, catch reds, drum, sheephead and go home. Trout on RipTide jigs and the rest on shrimp and jig. Also, some nice keeper mangrove snapper in the backcountry rock holes. We have also caught some small snook too. Those are the very hardy and must be handled with care.

We fished hard for tarpon. There were many in the creeks near Shark River. Plug casting all day long and few were feeding. Plastic was not on the menu. However, we had several strikes. Tomorrow I may try some live bait at the mouths of those creeks. The tarpon should be there.

Everglades Tarpon

2009-04-02T20:15:00.001-04:00

A very good everglades tarpon fishing trip today. All three anglers were 17 years old and all were into tarpon. Not 40, 50 or 60 pounders, but, 100 up to 125 pounders. The largest tarpon caught was estimated at about 125 and was landed in about 30 minutes. An excellent experience for a teenager. All were from Michigan. Only one tarpon was caught today, but, 4 were jumped, and I am embarrassed to say that I lost count on the number of strikes and rises. Artificial lures rule!

No photos today. Too busy to take photos.

Snook!

2009-03-02T18:25:00.001-05:00

Everglades fishing is mighty fine. Snook season is open but the water temps are too low. However, certain areas will produce keeper snook and this is all temperature and tide dependant. I like dark bottoms and moving water to produce fish. I will catch snook in the middle of dark bottom shallow bays some small and some large. Any lure will work as long as it is a jig or shallow running crank bait. Everglades fishing is excellent. I love it.
