The weather in The Everglades was perfect to run offshore on today’s fishing charter and fish the inshore wrecks just offshore of Everglades City. When we arrived at our first fishing spot the Mackerel were stacked up and striking bait on the surface . 
I knew the best way to catch them would be to work a spoon with a fast action, which produced plenty of solid mackerel action. Moving on, we decided to follow a crab line that Triple Tail like to hang around. After looking at several crab buoys we saw a decent sized triple tail in the 10lb range, that fell for a rootbeer riptide jig. As the afternoon passed the wind pick up and we headed to the Chatam River to fish for Redfish and Snook using were live pilchards as bait. The tide was falling fast the Redfish and Snook were on the bite.. We caught and released several nice fish that were in the 5 to 12 lb range.
November is a great month for fishing in the Everglades with the cool mornings and pleasant afternoons.

Another great fish we love to hunt for this time of year are Redfish . Redfish love to school up around the oyster bars and along the beach fronts . Some favorite baits Redfish like to eat a this time a year are a live shrimp under a popping cork or a fresh cut ladyfish . When you locate school of redfish you can be into some great action for hours on end. For some fast action this time of year we like to drift the grass flats and fish for Trout . Trout love to school up in 3 to 5 ft of water, one of the most productive way we like to fish for trout is to bounce a riptide jig slowly along the bottom or to use a live pilchard under a popping cork the Trout we usually catch this time of year can average between 2 – 5 lbs t . The Pompano and mackerel fishing starts to also heat up in September and can be found over the grass flat mixed in with the Trout. September is truly great time to fish in the Florida Everglades so if you would like to book a trip please give me a call and thanks for visiting my website.
Lots of bait translates into red hot Everglades fishing. Schools of Pilchards, one of the finest baits for everything that swims here, have moved into the area. I’ve been starting the day by throwing my cast net to load up the baitwell, which pretty much guarantees non-stop action for the day. My favorite technique is to position the boat about 30 feet from one of my secret spots and throw out a few “freebie” baits just to get the fish excited. After that it’s just a matter of adding a fishing hook and line to the baits as we throw them in.
