Sheephead, Redfish, and Black Drum

Dave and company, Indiana, got action on jig and shrimp today. They caught some nice sheephead, redfish, and black drum. Most were small but some came back to the dock to meet the "Hushpuppies". Fishing was tough but we managed to get them everglades fishing style. Most of the fish were caught near Chatham River.

Everglades Fishing Repeat

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.

Kelly and company, uncle and grandpaw, Naples, got some nice trout (17 to 18 inches) today. Kelly (13) also caught some nice black drum and redfish (26"). Beat that! Sheephead too!

Everglades fishing is good.

Lots of Trout

Scott and company got lots of trout today. I estimate that they caught 57 trout and most were small but they went home with 12 keeper trout and one big black drum (redfish family, excellent eating). We also caught more drum and small reds, Lostmans River. Good everglades fishing today.

Nice Trout Today

We started the half day to the north of Everglades City in the Ten Thousand Islands, Everglades National Park, with temperatures in the low 50's but warmed up quickly with clear skys, a bit breezy. Rick and Teresa, Minnesota, caught some keeper size sea trout and silver trout up to about 18 inches. The fish were caught on gray, rootbeer, and electric chicken RipTide jigs. We used shrimp but we quickly changed to jigs when the fish turned on.

A good everglades fishing day.

A good everglades fishing morning.

Winter Everglades Fishing

Kyle and company, Tampa, got into many speckled and silver trout today. They were fishing with shrimp but changed to plastic and jig when they had 3 on at the time. There were many small ones but the fish they took home ranged in size from 17 to 22 inches. Lots of fog all day but that did not stop us even though the GPS got fried early in the trip. We were fishing the flats near Lostmans River. They returned back to the Everglades Rod and Gun Lodge with many fish dinners.

A good everglades fishing day.
