We left out of my dock in Everglades City at daylight on this November morning and headed offshore of the Everglades coastline to catch live pilchards to use for bait. After loading up the bait well we headed south, way down the Everglades coastline to the mouth of the Roger’s River where there are numerous oyster bars and points that the Everglades snook inhabit. The perfect Everglades tide for fishing this river is a strong outgoing tide. As we anchor my custom Everglades Maverick boat up on a point of the river and cast out the first pilchard within seconds we had our first Everglades snook in the 7 lbs. range. We continued to stay on this point for an hour catching snook after snook. Later on we anchored up on an Everglades oyster bar with the tide still going out and we caught a nice mix of Everglade’s redfish and snook. As the outgoing tide of the Everglades started to slow so did the fishing so we decided to wait for the incoming tide and run to the Everglades beaches where there is plenty of snags and oyster bars. As the tide started to flood the beach, the Everglades snook started to move in with the tide. This particular Everglades beach we were fishing was about 5 miles long. We decide the best way to cover all this Everglades bottom was to slowly ease my Maverick down the shoreline by use of a trolling motor and pitch live Everglades pilchards along the shoreline. This technique worked great and we scored with several Everglades snook ranging from all different sizes. There was also a nice mix of Everglade’s redfish in with the snook. After a perfect day of Everglades snook and red fishing we headed back to my dock in Everglades City and talked to my friends who are also Everglades fishing guides. They also reported having a great day of fishing with their clients in the Everglades. November in the Everglades can be a great time to catch snook and redfish.
