Everglades Fishing Charters Fishing Report May 16/2010

Fishing is Good in the Everglades

Tarpon are finally here and seem to be everywhere....in the passes, on the flats, along the beaches...everywhere. If you want to catch one of these Big guys, they will put you to your max...sometimes taking up to an hour to land...can you do it or will the tarpon win?

We are also catching nice size redfish, actually at the top of the slot size. These fish are a lot of fun to catch and good to eat also.

Plenty of Trout and some Pompano too. Mackerel are in the 4-6 lb range and put up a good fight.

Snook..did someone say snook..yes we are catching snook of all sizes around the islands.

May is a great time of year and probably one of my favorite months to fish. The summer rains haven't started yet, but they are sure to come....

So come down and let's go fishing, cause the fishing is great and so is the weather.

Everglades Fishing Charters Fishing Report April 17/2010

Here we are into the middle of April already...finally, we are just starting to feel like things are starting to get back to normal from an unusually cold and windy winter. The fishing has been good even with the wind blowing 20-25 on many days. I was talking with several other captains and one of them said he couldn't find any trout in places he normally fished, but there had been nothing normal about this winter and spring so with that in mind it was just a matter of hunting for them and not going back to our same ole spots. However in the last couple weeks, the fish are starting to be where they normally would be for this time of year. We are catching lots of big trout....the biggest on my boat so far is 26"...with lots of fish over 20 inches. These fish are really fun to catch and put up a good fight. While we are fishing for trout we are also catching pompano, large permit, small cobia, sharks, mackerel, blue fish, blue runners, ladyfish, and jacks. Needless to say there is quite a lot of action to keep you and your captain busy while fishing out on the flats. When the tide is right we are also catching redfish, black drum and snook.

Fishing will continue to be good and even get better as summer approaches. May is the time of year we start to catch our big snook as they start to get into schools for their spawn.

The evening rains haven't started yet, but are sure to come in time. Unless we have a dry summer....never know.


Here are some pictures for you to enjoy while you're planning your next fishing trip.

Everglades Fishing Charters Fishing Report Jan 28/2010 after the Cold Blast

Okay here were go.....It has been one heck of a ride with the cold weather we had here in South Florida. We actually beat records set back in 1927. Okay that's a long time ago, so what do we do now. Well, Mother Nature can be really cruel sometimes and this time she did her job and did it well. You know that fishing is all a matter of personal feelings, and that's what makes every guide (person) different as it is what he/she believes in according to his/her experience on the water. Well, I believe that Mother Nature know what she is doing. That whatever she did/does she did/does for a reason. Maybe there is not enough food so she has to thin out her stock. Maybe she has a lot of weak or sick fish that just aren't going to make a strong future stock. Okay then how does she take care of this.....with Red Tide or below normal temperatures is a couple ways. I really think that because of this we will have a better, stronger stock now and with in the next couple years to come. Okay what did I see during these record temperatures, quite a lot of big snook, huge snook to say the lease, baby tarpon, and lots of small bait fish, like pinfish, silver jenneys, ladyfish etc. Oh did I say catfish....lots of dead catfish.

So, what has the fishing been like since the cold. Actually it has been pretty good. The fish are not (my opinion) in there normal places, so we just have to hunt for them a little harder. I really believe that a lot of big snook went offshore and they will be back inshore at their normal time to come inshore.

I will say that the fish have quite a appetite since the cold. We are catching Redfish, and Large Trout. Every Redfish I (customers have caught) since the cold have been keepers and are fat at that. We are catching limits on Redfish and also Trout. The cold didn't bother sheepshead or blackdrum either, at least I didn't see any dead. Haven't really caught any, but haven't tried either, as my customers have been happy with Redfish and Trout. Oh, I almost forgot there are also Grey Trout and Sugar Trout to help in the table food and fun in catching.

The weather is back to normal and it is so beautiful. Today was another chamber of commerce day with temp in the low 80's and clear sky's.

Here are some pictures taken since the cold spell so enjoy looking them over and like I always say
