Everglades Fishing

Archive for the ‘Everglades Fishing Charters’ Category

Everglades fishing charters in September started off red hot and finished even hotter. The Redfish fishing was some of the best I have ever seen… They were all over the place and on the bite. We had several days were we caught up to 50-60 fish!! The Redfish we were catching averaged all different sizes anywhere from 18 inch to 35 inches the bait that seem to work the best was live pilchards or fresh cut lady fish. The Snook fishing was also fantastic with the  average catch between 23 t0 38 inches. Most of the fish we were catching were along the beach-front on a rising tide,  and again on the falling tide around the mangrove islands that had and oyster bottom. Trout fishing also started picking up in September with Trout moving in from offshore and moving up onto the grass flats on a rising tides. We had the some great action using jigs bounced slowly along the bottom most of the trout have been catching have been averaging between 2-5 lbs.

October Everglades Fishing Charter Outlook

My expectations are that October fishing should be just as good,  if not better than September.  October typically is one of the best months for Trout, and with the water cooling down a few degrees just about every species will be active.

Pompano will also start to move in this month and be mixed in with the Trout. The Pompano we catch can average between 2 -6 lbs and are great eating. Mackerel also start to move in this month and can provide some fast and furious action!

Thanks again.
Look forward to fishing with you.

September is one of the best months of the year for fishing in the Everglades…

The summer rain starts to slack off and the bait moves in, making the fishing fantastic!

Snook can really start to get active, and I typically fish for them on a incoming tide along the beaches and outside points. The best bait that I like to use this time a year is live pilchards, which the Snook can’t resist. Snook have long been a favorite of Everglades fishing charter anglers as they are one of the best fighting fish in the area. Snook are know to pull hard and have a lighting fast run.

The Red fishing can also be red hot this time of year, with the best bait being a shrimp under a popping cork or a fresh cut chunk of lady fish. They can average anywhere from 2-12 lbs this time of year.

In addition, Trout is another I target in September. They start to move onto the grass flats, and provide great action . My favorite technique to catch trout is to drift over a grass flat in about 3-5 ft of water and bounce a root beer Riptide jig slowly across the bottom. Trout average between 2-5 lbs this time of  year, and make for a great fish dinner.

July fishing has had some great action. We have been leaving the dock at daylight to beat the heat, starting off by targeting the Tarpon that have been active early in the day. The Tarpon we have been catching have been averaging between 60 and 125 lbs . The best baits lately have been a live ladyfish or big pinfish. The Snook fishing has been strong, the best luck that we been having has been on the rising along the beaches. On one of my trips the other morning we caught several nice Snook that were in 10 lb range using live pilchards. The Redfishing has also great with a lot fish hanging around the oyster bars and mangrove islands.

The wreck fishing offshore can also produce some great and fast action this time of year. The main species of fish that like to hang around the wrecks are Cobia , Permit and Mackere. Summer is a fantastic time of year to fish, the trick is to get out early while the fish are active. Thanks for checking out my website and if you would like to book a trip please give me call.

Fishing here in Everglades National Park has been red hot… Plenty of bait fish (pilchards) are showing up and the Snook fishing is starting to turn on! As is typical for fishing in The Everglades in April, we have been having great luck fishing for Snook on the outside points on the rising tides and in the mouth of the rivers on the falling tides as they fatten up for their spawn. Most of the Snook we been catching have been averaging between 24 to 36 inches.

In addition, the Tarpon have also been on the bite this month we have been targeting them when they are active early in the morning on the rising tide.

The Redfish fishing has also been quite good, perhaps even better than last year. Lately, there have been days were we have caught anywhere from 20 to 50 Redfish in a day, using live shrimp under a popping cork.

The Trout fishing has been very good throughout the cooler months and should continue well into the summer.

April has started off with some great fishing action and should keep getting better and better.

Thanks for checking out my website and if you would like to book a fishing charter for April or May these are my busy months and availability is limited, so give please give me a call to reserve your trip today.

Warm weather sets the fishing on fire!

This years weather went from cold to hot. With the weather absolutely beautiful the fishing has been red hot . This morning when we left the dock the water temperature was warm 76 degrees so we decided to look for some tarpon for the first time this year . When we arrived at the first spot we saw several nice fish rolling and within minutes of casting a sinking mirrolure we hooked up with a nice tarpon in the 70 lb range after a 15 minute fight the Tarpon took its final jump and spit the plug . After fishing for Tarpon we decided to run offshore and look fish for some Triple Tail . After minutes of stopping at our first spot we spotted a nice fish in the 10 range and with a perfect cast with a shrimp we had fish for tonight’s dinner . Later on in the day we decided to fish for some Trout and Pompano so we headed for a grass flat that was in 3 to 5 feet of water . The bait we were using was a Rootbeer Riptide Jig that the Trout and Pompano can’t resist . On our first drift across the flat we scored with some big Trout in the 5 lb range with some nice Pompano mix in . On our way back to the dock we had some time left to we stop at an oyster bar were there has been some redfish schooled We decided to use a shrimp under a popping cork for bait and that seem to do the trick we caught 5 nice Redfish up to 5 lbs. We are coming into the time of the year were the fishing in the Everglades starts to get better day bye day and with spring time right around the corner the Snook will start leaving the backcountry and heading out to gulf and the Tarpon migration should be in full swing . Along with Snook and Tarpon fishing being hot the Trout Pompano Redfish Triple Tail and Cobia fishing will should remain great providing a lot of great action…
