Ed and a Red

Today was a hard day ( windy) of fishing but we managed to get some pretty nice trout and redfish.  The redfish in the photo measured 24 inches and was caught on a tipped jig.  We also caught keeper sheephead and black drum.  Everglades fishing was very good to us.  We also had some nice snook on and would have been keeper size if it were the season for them.  All of our fish came from south of Lostman's River.

Ron's Excellent Fishing Day

Well, Everglades fishing came through again, and again.  Ron, from Orlando, and friend Charlie, from Naples, caught Everglades redfish.  They got their limit of redfish.  They also got trout, sheephead, snook, and black drum, all keepers.  The snook were released.  Fish fry tonight.  Ron's red was nearly 27 inches and FAT. Today, fish hit on tipped jigs and ratlin raps.  This Everglades fishing guide was happy today.

A Snook Morning

Everglades fishing for snook can be good during the winter in the Everglades National Park.  This Everglades snook was caught in the late morning north of Everglades City and took a jig tipped with shrimp.  A few more were caught and all were release due to closed season.  More and more of my anglers are releasing all fish during the open season.   This Everglades fishing guide is happy to release keeper fish.

Nice Redfish

Today Susan from Orlando was fishing with me and landed this nice 25 inch Everglades redfish.  Susan caught it on a tipped jig with a popping cork.  This fish got under the boat 3 times but Susan knew what to do and landed it.  These fish were in less than a foot of water and you could almost see them tailing.  Everglades fishing was good today.  We caught plenty of nice keeper size trout.  All fish were released.   For a memorable Everglades fishing charters call me as I am booking up.

Plan Now for Tarpon

One more month till the tarpon start showing up!  Everglades fishing for tarpon is unique for this Everglades fishing guide in that I hunt for them in the most remote part of the Park.  Once I locate them I put down the troll motor and start plug casting for them.  Most Everglades tarpon here are sight casted.  Everglades tarpon start showing up when those cold fronts stall out in North Florida and our waters start warming up.  If tarpon are your game better call and get the best tides for them.  This Everglades fishing charters has some dates open for the best tides but not for long.

Redfish Again

Here we go again.  Everglades fishing at its finest.  More Everglades redfish.  Mike and friends landed a few redfish up to 28 inches.  They got their limit but it was a tough day.  This Everglades fishing charter earned its pay today with 25 knot winds.  We could not cover the grounds I wanted to because of the wind but we managed to catch quite a few trout along with the redfish.  Snook were a little scarce today.

Trout are In

Now is the time to get your trout.  Saturday was a big trout day with limits of trout.  Calm seas and favorable temperatures made for a nice day for Everglades fishing.  These trout were caught from the flats off of Highlands Beach all the way to the flats just north of Pavilion Key.  Red headed gray Rip Tide jigs did the trick for me but most jigs will work.  As an Everglades City fishing guide I can't reveal my secrets but for trout there really were no secrets on Saturday.  Everybody caught trout.  One more month before you can keep an Everglades snook.
