Another Great Day

It doesn't matter if it is 45 degrees and blowing 25mph, Everglades fishing has something to offer.  Today, Mona got into some nice keeper size black drum in the Everglades National Park.  We were fishing north of Everglades City in the Ten Thousand Islands and we caught some keeper mangrove snapper and gag grouper along with the black drum.  The fish were caught on jigs tipped with shrimp on the bottom of some deeper creek holes.  All fish were released.  We fished for a half day with very little water due to the northeast wind which blew the water out.  Mona and friends from yesterday, Judy and Barbara, are from Key Largo.  This Everglades fishing charter was happy.

Judy and Barbara into Everglades Fishing

Inspite of the cold front, 30mph wind, and rain, Judy and Barbara, Key Largo, got into some nice Everglades redfish and snook.  We were fishing north of Everglades City into the Ten Thousand Islands and caught several snook and reds on popping cork and shrimp tipped jigs.  Most of the fish were caught in the rivers and creeks.  Pictured above are some of the fish including a 24 inch redfish.  Everglades Fishing comes through again even in the harsh cold front.  This Everglades fishing guide was happy.

Ed's Red

No dought, Everglades fishing is never the same, only the fishing is always dependable. This is Ed and another 25 inch Everglades redfish. This fish was caught on a shrimp tipped jig and a popping cork. It was caught just north of Lostmans River on a dead low tide. Ed and friend Richard landed some nice trout and their bag limit of redfish. The smaller redfish measured 24 inches. For an Everglades fishing charter please call this Everglades fishing guide.

Everglades Snook Season Soon

Get Ready for Everglades snook fishing.  The season is about to open and you only have 2 months to keep them till they close them in May.  Everglades fishing for snook is like no other place in that you have so many choices of places and types of fishing.  Artificial, live bait, shrimp, cut bait (fresh ladyfish is snook candy) can be used in the backcountry, in the rivers, along mangrove shorelines, on the beaches, and later on the nearby wrecks and small reefs.  When using live bait be cautious when fishing the backcountry as those bays and creeks can have too much fresh water and your baits die.  Many Everglades fishing guides use artificials when fishing the backcountry due to the fresh water.  This Everglades fishing guide loves to fish artificials when the need arises and when called for.  This oversized Everglades snook was caught in Chokoloskee Bay in the Ten Thousand Islands using a gray jig.  There were no tears when this angler had to release his Everglades snook.  Please call me soon for an Everglades fishing charter as I am starting to book up fast.

Everglades fishing for redfish and trout

Todd and Dave, Ocala, Fl, caught some very nice everglades redfish and trout today.  They limited out on trout which averaged about 18 inches and 2 at 20 inches.  These fish were caught on a RipTide jig and soft plastic 3 inch gray shrimp.  Also, Dave caught a very respectable 26 inch redfish on a shrimp tipped jig and popping cork.  Father and son limited out on the trout.  All the fish were caught in the Everglades National Park north of Lostmans River.  Everglades fishing was good today and the weather was EXCELLENT.  The waters were a perfect green and turquoise color and the tides cooperated.  There were several Everglades fishing charters out today but few caught them as fast as Dave and Todd did.  This Everglades fishing guide was very happy today.

A Good Day on the Water



Well, today was a good day on the water. We managed to scrape up a few redfish inspite of the harsh cold front which blew and rained on us. In fact, it blew out all the water. The tide was out about 6 feet and stayed out. This is where "local knowledge" is needed to maneuver the boat in inches of water between oysters and rocks just to get out to my spots. Much of the backcountry is this way and I do not recommend anybody who is new to the area to venture out without the local knowledge. Everglades fishing for these Everglades redfish or snook is very challenging with these conditions and you can ruin your day or your boat if you hit rocks or oyster bars. Everglades tarpon fishing is extremely hard with these conditions and you may have better luck at the dock. A professional local Everglades fishing guide can even up the score and perhaps give you a chance at some Everglades snook or tarpon. A "tip", when you have conditions such as today get a bag of shrimp, tip some jigs and go catch some Everglades fishing. Everglades fishing is always an adventure. This Everglades fishing guide was happy to get out and catch some fish.
