We are in the dog days of August right now. It is hot and the thunder storms are popping up daily. The water temps are in the high 80s and low 90s by mid day. Its hot! One way we are dealing with this is getting out extremely early in the morning. Sometimes we have…
The weather the past few week has been pretty good for August. 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 80’s, which is ideal for tarpon. The tarpon fishing in the backcountry of the Everglades has…
It has been a hot summer so far down here, weather and fishing! There has been a good number of tarpon in the 20-40lb class and most days they have been pretty aggressive if you can find them early. We have been launching almost an hour before the sun is up and have been rewarded…

For the past two years, projects that focus on restoring Everglades have been continuous. There have been great improvements in these projects, but where exactly are they in terms of completion? Are there factors that hinder a speedy development of these projects? These questions call for an assessment and evaluation of projects that seek to…
We are definitely in our winter pattern over the last few days. The water temps are in the 60s and every afternoon you might see 72-73 degrees. Not quite consistently warm enough for the tarpon to show up in numbers. When it does though, they show up and bring all there friends. We had a…
