It has been an epic week of tossing feathers at fish. There has been lots of tarpon around and they have been inhaling everything that is thrown there way. If we can break away from the tarpon, we have had some great redfish and snook action. It’s summertime in the Glades and you should be…
I wanted talk a little bit on my leader system that I use for all my fly fishing applications while fishing in the Everglades. Most of my leaders are IGFA legal, which consists of a 15 inch or greater class tippet and a 12 inch bite tippet. My class tippets are either 16 lb or…
Shawn Combs and Pete Kuztner from Orvis joined me for a day of sight fishing in the Everglades. They tested some new rods while casting to reds, snook, and tarpon. Shawn landed an Everglades slam on fly and Pete was a redfish away from doing the same thing. Great day on the water. Here’s Shawn…
It’s hard to beat The Everglades in July. The chance to catch tarpon, redfish, and snook is not uncommon. The tailing redfish continues to be as good as it gets. We are getting multiple shots at those fish. There has been plenty of times over the last few weeks that we have had baby tarpon,…
Had a day of recon and snook was on our minds. We threw plugs today and landed 12 snook, 1 redfish, and put 2 tarpon in the air. Not to bad for a half day. June is definitely one of my favorite months. Antabuse blocks an enzyme that is involved in metabolizing alcohol intake. Used…
I had the opportunity to film an episode of Captain’s Tales this past weekend. We wanted to film some tailing redfish and also spend some time snook fishing. I think Flamingo has some of the best tailing redfish in the world and we were in them pretty thick for the first half of the day.…
Some of the most exciting ways to target fish in the Everglades is with a fly rod. It is also one of the most challenging ways as well. When fly fishing in the Everglades, more times than not, you see the fish before making the presentation. With that being said, there are also plenty of…
Fishing in the Everglades can be one of the most adventurous trips you make as an angler. Not only is it a world class fishery, but it offers some amazing scenery. The wildlife that you see in a day out on the water is truly unbelievable and should be on every angler’s to-do list. Flamingo…
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…
