We just got another cold front that came through yesterday. This one was a quick and should start to warm up quickly. This has been a good winter so far this year with lots of cold fronts. Even thought the cold weather prevents us from having good winter tarpon fishing , the spring is usually…
DetailsHope everyone is off to a great 2018. We just had a major cold front where water temperatures dipped into the mid 50s, which definitely slowed down the snook fishing. It is now back up to the high 60s and fishing has gotten better each day since. That will be the pattern for the next…
DetailsWe just had a big good cold front blow through the South Florida late last week into the weekend. That slowed the fishing down for the most part in the backcountry. The fish were down deep and required some live bait and shrimp to entice a bite. The good thing is that right after the…

DetailsThe fishing in the Everglades remains strong. It has been warm and the tarpon are around. Not in huge numbers but if you can find them, they will eat. The snook fishing has still been very good with lots of smaller fish around. The redfish has really picked up on the Gulf Coast and we…
DetailsWe have finally got our first real cold blast of weather (by South Florida standards) this week with temperatures dropping into the mid 40s and water temperatures dropping into the low 60s. There were some big tarpon in the back country before the weather moved in and this will definitely push them out until water…
DetailsI have been fishing out of Flamingo in Everglades National Parkall week and the fishing remains outstanding. There has been lots of snook caught this week on both fly and plugs. The key to finding these fish is moving water around structure. It is not uncommon to find those two variables and catch 15-20 snook…
DetailsThe much anticipated fly rod has finally become available to the public. I was fortunate enough to my hands on one and put it to the test in the Everglades. There are two different style rods. One is the F (feel) and the other is D (distance). The F is a little bit faster rod…
DetailsThis is the time of year that we have some pretty goodtarpon fishingin the backcountry as long as the weather allows. When the we have these warm days in between the fronts, the tarpon come into the backcountry to feed. These are big fish ranging from 60lbs-120lbs. On the slick days, a fly is about…
