The fishing down in Everglades National Park has been nothing short of epic. Lots of medium tarpon, ranging from 20-40 pounds, eating small fry bait on the Gulf Coast. They have been very willing to eat a fly or a plug. We have been getting them on flies almost every trip out. Constantly putting the fly in their face has been the key.
The snook fishing has also been excellent. We have caught fish from the Gulf to deep in the backcountry. It has been great to see so many snook around. We have crushed them on both fly and jigs. They have ranged in size from 20 in.-35 in.
The biggest surprise has been the redfish. There has been a big insurgence of smaller fish in the Everglades. We have caught tons of under slot reds. This has been great to see and a good sign of things to come.
