The weather today when we left my dock in the everglades was pretty nice. we decided to head offshore and look for tarpon .When we arrived our spot we saw several tarpon rolling and free jumping . After about an hour casting our baits to them with no luck ,we decided to go look for snook. At our first spot we caught 3 nice snook to 10lbs . At our next spot we scored with a few more snook with a few redfish thrown in.

Today’s weather was a Little better than yesterday when we left my dock out of everglades city. Today we were fishing for what ever was going to bite our first spot was in a deep pass were the tide was rising .Our bait that we were using were live finger mullet . In the first 10 minute of fishing we scored with a nice 5 lbs redfish . As we stayed fishing in the same spot we caught several redfish and trout . Later on in the afternoon we fished some deep creeks were we caught some nice snapper and sheephead.

We went from summer time temperatures to winter over night . When we left my dock out of everglades city this morning the temperature was a cool 52 and the wind was blowing hard out of the north at 25 mph. We decided to run deep into the backcountry and cast jigs tip with shrimp .At our first spot we scored with several nice trout to 4 lbs . After we got tired of catching trout we decided to target some snook around an oyster bar were the tide was running out there we catch several small snook to 5 lbs.

 

We left my dock out of everglades city at day light and ran offshore to a spot were the tarpon move in this time of year .When we arrived to this spot we saw several tarpon free jumping . Our bait of choice were live Lady fish we caught on way out to this tarpon whole . We floated a live lady fish under a float and within minutes were hooked up to 120 lb everglades silver king , after about 45 minutes we landed and released this monster. We stayed fishing tarpon the rest of the day with great success.

With the warm  everglades weather me and my clients from Ohio decide to try our luck for tarpon . We left my dock out of everglades city at daylight and headed way down south to Houston river were the tarpon like to hang out. when we arrived at our destination   we spotted several tarpon rolling . The bait we were using were slow sinking plugs that run about 2-3 feet below the surface . It took about an 1/2 hour before we got one of these silver kings to bite and when we did it was a big one in the 100lbs range .After a 45 minute  fight we finally landed and released him . We stay fishing tarpon for the whole day jumping and released several more. The  tarpon are truly the king og the everglades.
