Summer time in the Everglades

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…

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…

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…
