Everglades Sunrise
One of my favorite times to be on the water….
Last few days…
I was only on the water twice this past week because I have been working on getting the Pathfinder up and running. I am very excited about this boat because it gives us a lot of different options when it comes to fishing. I plan on using it mostly for tarpon fishing at night in…
Backcountry Snook
We have had a warming trend recently after a front blew through during the Thanksgiving weekend. The BIG tarpon moved into the interior of the Glades and we found a bunch of them this weekend. At one point we were surrounded by a bunch a rolling tarpon, but only managed to put a hook in…
Beached Pilot Whales in the Everglades
A major rescuing effort is happening right now in Everglades National Park, near Highlands Beach. Shortfin pilot whales, the species most common for beaching themselves in Florida, typically live in deep water. For unknown reasons, 51 whales came in very shallow today, in which 10 have already died. The plan now is to save the…
Sweetwater snook
I have been spending some time deep in the Everglades where the water is almost completely fresh. Shawn and Carlos joined me for some backcountry snook fishing. We caught a bunch of nice fish in some challenging conditions. Here’s the fish of the day… Antabuse blocks an enzyme that is involved in metabolizing alcohol intake.…
Redfish in the Creeks
The redfishing on the coast in the small creeks has been red hot this week as well. We had some big tides with a strong NE wind, which means low and clear water. The tarpon were around very thick and we stuck a few fish that jumped off before we could land them. This is…
Night Snookin
Mike Dritz joined me the other night for some “after hours” fishing. Even though is night, we sight fish snook around the docks that have lights on them. He managed to land 6 snook up to 25 inches, 3 jacks, and 2 lookdowns all on fly. Great angling! Antabuse blocks an enzyme that is involved…
Backcountry
I love this time of the year because it is usually when I start fishing as far back in the Everglades as you can go. The fronts are rolling through more consistent, which means an awesome backcountry experience. The snook are back there right now and as the water temps drop, the redfish will join…
Everglades Fly Fishing
Spent the day reconinng deep in the Everglades with friend Cap. Ned Small. Fun day and ready to plan another. Redfish on fly. Antabuse blocks an enzyme that is involved in metabolizing alcohol intake. Used as part of a treatment plan for problem drinking. Other remedies are used to treat inflammation caused by eczema. Likely…
Big redfish
Who said South Florida doesn’t have big redfish? This one got sharked as soon as we hooked up. Big school of reds in shallow water. Antabuse blocks an enzyme that is involved in metabolizing alcohol intake. Used as part of a treatment plan for problem drinking. Other remedies are used to treat combustion caused by…
