Everglades Fishing Charters Fishing Report Oct 26/09


The fishing has been good and the weather is great. I fished Sarah and her husband Allen today and we had a fantastic time. We had to move a couple times to find the fish, but that's okay cause they have tails to swim with and sometimes you just have to hunt for them. They wanted to take some fish home for dinner and that is just what they did. We actually had a cooler full of fish to say the least. Lets see, we caught 7 SNOOK, 3 REDFISH, 5 SNAPPER, 13 TROUT, and one nice JACK. Before we got done cleaning the ones we kept, Sarah said "I don't know if all that fish will fit in my cooler" With a little ice, the fish did fit and they had a nice mess of fish to take home for quite a few dinners. This is the first time Sarah has fished with me cause the last time they came down she had some business she had to take care of so it was Allen and their daughter. She (Sarah) really was glad to get on the water this time. We saw quite a few dolphins, birds and wading birds. The Ospreys are back preparing their homes for nesting season. The white pelicans are here in great numbers which make them easy to spot from quite a long ways off. As soon I get some pictures that Allen took I will post them, but for the time being, here is one that I took of Sarah with a nice 31" (keeper) SNOOK.... Like I always say

Everglades Fishing Charters Fishing Reports Oct 17-18, 09






We just had our first cold front come through and it was a pretty good one. Lowered the temp. down to the 50's and the wind blew 15-25. Ed and Patti fished with me on the 17 and 18. With the temp. in the mid 80's over cast, misting rain, wind out of the west on Sat and down in the low 60's on Sunday with the wind blowing 20 out of the North, but the fishing was still okay. The two days combined we landed 13 SNOOK (one being a beautiful 36")losing 6, landing 1 TARPON jumping 5 and some REDFISH (in the slot) and SNAPPER. They took a REDFISH to Camila's a local restaurant to have for dinner. They said it was really great. Ed is Patti's father and he wasn't very happy that she got the biggest fish, with that MONSTER SNOOK she caught, he said he was going to hear about it for a long time.
It is a tradition that they get together each year and go fishing for their birthdays. Wow, is that ever a great tradition. While we were fishing we saw dolphins, turtles, and lots of wading birds. Here are a couple pictures for you to enjoy and like always, what are you waiting for....pick up that phone (239-695-2029)and make your reservations for your fishing experience of a lifetime, cause the fishing is good and the weather is just fine.

Everglades Fishing Charters Fishing Report Oct 1-10,2009

Wow, Fishing has been great. The weather is still warm and the fish are in slow motion migrating to their winter homes. For us this is good as there are fish everywhere (inside islands,outside islands,back country, on the flats,off shore,near shore) everywhere. So no matter where your favorite spot is, there should be fish there. We are having good catches of SNOOK (in the slot), REDFISH(in the slot), TARPON, TROUT, BLACK DRUM, MACKEREL, GOLIATH GROUPER, LADYFISH and JACKS. This is the time of year that we start to catch our mix bag of fish. You just never know what is going to bite the end of your line. This really makes it exciting. Maybe a 100 lb TARPON, how about a BIG SNOOK, or maybe even a GOLIATH GROUPER. Hey how about that monster 50lb BLACK DRUM. Fishing in the Everglades National Park/10,000 Islands is really an experience of a lifetime. So what are you waiting for.....come on, give me a call (Capt. Becky Campbell 239-695-2029)and book that fishing trip you have been thinking about cause the fishing is great and the weather is good.

Sorry about not having pictures, (been too busy catching and/or releasing fish) I will try and get some this week.
