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…

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.

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…

Shark Fishing

I don’t do a lot of shark fishing, but the last 2 days were a lot of fun watching John and Gary pull on some giant sharks. We also got into a bunch of snappers, a few nice Gag groupers, and bunch of really big Jacks. I love the fishing the Glades because you just…

Flamingo Fishing

The many reasons I love fishing Flamingo is you never know what you will run into while on the water. Here’s a nice blackdrum from this week, sight fished on the flats. I plan on doing some trips over in Chokoloskee this winter. The wintertime sight fishing over there is as good as it gets.…
