The way people fish in the Ten Thousand Island and Everglades National Park can be best
described as nothing less than a spectacular super slam. For those who may be dreaming,
envisaging, of connecting into the otherwise indescribable Backcountry Slam, now is the golden
opportunity to finally set that notch in the grip of your cork.
The surrealistic stillness of these days that not even the slightest hint of the chugging and
clanking engines of wintertime boat traffic can be heard is actually all that is really quiet. Within
a few weeks or so, redfish will be flocking towards the flats within the vicinity of Estero Bay,
meticulously following the incoming tide as if being magnetized by some unseen force. These
same redfish might also be seen swarming the pristine waters of the oyster bar-dotted
shorelines where an excellent shrimp and baitfish patterns can easily reel them in.
The snook that frequents the backcountry waters will be seen along oyster bars frolicking in a
hefty serving of finger mullets as well as small baitfish. Its ocean-going cousin will be more
content on making the rounds on the beaches as it navigates its way around Marco Island and
Naples in search for that live baitfish that has been well-placed by some fly fish phobe.
The smaller cousins of the spring tarpon can still pack a mean punch. They can still burn drag,
do backflips, jump straight out of the water, and literally throw hooks which should be enough
training exercise for you just before you even consider facing its much larger, definitely
stronger challenger cousin.
Thinking of slamming that beautifully large tarpon will require a Helios 9’7 wt. married to a
Battenkill Large Arbor and connected to a floating Wonderline. It may be a lightweight but
considering what you will be facing, you will definitely need this to help you conserve your
physical strength for the lengthy tug-of-war ahead. Consider a rod with a 6-7 wt to be great for
streamer fishing while a 8-9 wt will just be perfect for the bigger swimmers.
