It has been pretty dry lately and with some negative low tides, the water levels are low. Recently, I have seen some water as low as its been in a long time. That is definitely a good thing for fishing in the backcountry. With the water temperature being under that magic number for tarpon, we…
It has been extremely warm down in here in South Florida so far this winter. Lots of tarpon around with this balmy December weather. The fish are happy and we getting them on flies and plugs. Here’s picture of a recent one we got….
Time to Repair the Everglades The final straw in the divide between man’s needs and restoring nature’s balance came in 1981 when a 200-year event, a massive drought, took place followed by, two years later, by massive flooding secondary to hurricanes. By this time, it was already apparent that everyone must consider all the problems…
The weather the past few week has been pretty incredible for December. It has been warm and most days we have had light winds. With the air temps being so warm, the water temps are in mid to high 70’s, which is ideal for tarpon. The tarpon fishing in the backcountry of the Everglades has…

The last few weeks I have spent most of my time fishing Everglades National Park out of Flamingo and Chokoloskee, but have also squeezed in a few night trips chasing snook and tarpon in Miami. So far, the New Year has brought us some mild weather in South Florida, which most of the time means…
