It has been another really good couple of weeks of fishing in Flamingo. I spent a couple of days fishing the flats outfront with some outstanding tailing redfish action. I participated in he Redghost tournament out of Islamorada, FL and watched my 16 year old angler pick off 9 redfish on fly. It is amazing…
Being a full time Flamingo fishing guide allows me to be on the water most days. To me that’s so important when fishing Flamingo. The Everglades is such a diverse fishery that everything changes on a daily basis. There are definitely some absolutes when fishing the Everglades but there are also changes everyday. I think…
We were on dawn patrol this morning, running in the dark. The snook are chewing but it is an early bite. The Everglades is on fire and we got some great tides this week. The bigger tarpon are showing up more and more and the babies are very plentiful. Here is one of the snook…
I fished out of the backcountry this week and we ran back as far as we could possibly run. We found tarpon and snook back there and we had some of the most aggressive bites I have seen in a long time. The fishing was great back there but not seeing another boat was the…

It is July and it is hot. The good thing is though, so is the fishing. We are getting out on the water early and there has been plenty of Tarpon and Snook. The Everglades is loaded right now with all sort of bait. The shrimp are flowing in the backcountry and on the coast…
The fishing down in the Everglades has still been the best choice. We finally get some rain and the backcountry has come alive. Lots and lots of bait getting flushed out and there are plenty of snook around.
