Everglades Fishing Report

jasons — Tue, 24 Aug 2021 13:12:17 +0000

I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. The fishing has remained pretty solid over the last month or so. The bigger tarpon are around out on the Gulf coast and have been pretty active. This should be the pattern until the cold fronts start showing up around November.

The snook fishing in the backcountry has been excellent. Lots of fish around of all sizes. I have taken my Jon boat as far back as we can go and there has been lots of action of snook, redfish, and baby tarpon.

I have plenty of dates open over the next few weeks and into the Fall. Fishing has been great, so give me a call or email and lets fish!

Looking like Fall in The Everglades

Hope everybody is doing well. The fishing in the Glades has been very good. There has been a ton of tarpon around in the mornings and most days we have had them all to ourselves. These fish are in the 30-60lb range.

The redfishing, snook, and baby tarpon fishing has been on fire on the lower stages of the tides. We have been sightfishing these guys and they have been a ton of fun. This is definitely the time of year for a slam!

As we move into the Fall, the fishing should only get better with the push of bait down the Gulf Coast. Give me a call or email to get out on the water! Best part about this time of year is we rarely see another boat all day!

Tarpon fishing in the Everglades

The fishing down in the Everglades has been very good lately. The tarpon have been extremely thick with the bait almost everywhere. We have found creek mouths with bait pouring out of them and tarpon doing backflips on the bait. It has been pretty cool to see it. Those fish have not been easy to hook but we have managed a few bites while watching the display of the tarpon doing their thing.

The sight fishing has also been really good lately for redfish and snook. A bunch of fish outfront on the flats and also on the Gulf coast.

The overall fishing has been very good in the Everglades and should continue throughout the Fall.

Give me a call or email

Everglades Fall Fishing

Peter Celnicker — Wed, 02 Oct 2019 12:33:33 +0000

The fishing continues to be very good out of Flamingo There has been a big push of bait through the Everglades which has brought a lot of fish south chasing them. The tarpon have been around hanging in the creeks and rivers ambushing bait as it flows in and out on the tides. These fish have been in the 30lb-70lb class. A great fish on the fly or light tackle!

The snook fishing remains very good. They have been everywhere from the way backcountry to the Gulf Coast. There has also been some redfish mixed in with these schools of snook.

I still have some dates open for the end of the year. This can be some great fishing with some giant tarpon moving in the backcountry on good weather days.

My spring Tarpon Season is filling up so let me know if you want some prime dates this upcoming spring.

Tarpon, Tarpon, Tarpon

This month it has been all about the tarpon, both big and small. It has really been a great month for tarpon fishing. There has been a lot of baby tarpon around, which is typically for summer time especially with the amount of rain we have had. There has also been a lot of fish between 30-60lbs hanging around. We have done really well on both fly and plugs this month. The best part about it is you have the entire place to yourselves.

September is great month in the Everglades. There are plenty of tarpon and snook around. I have also been hearing about some great tailing redfish outfront on the flats. It is definitely some of the best fishing of the year.

Everglades/Miami Fishing Guide

South Florida has some of the most diverse fisheries in the entire country. Probably why it is considered to be the fishing capital of of the world. You can fish offshore, inshore, and in the backcountry of the Florida Everglades. With that being said, it is very important to make the most of your fishing trip with hiring the right guide for the job. It is important to figure out what you want to do, whether it is offshore, inshore, or backcountry fishing. Finding the right guide can make the trip complete. Having the fishing opportunities that South Florida has, brings a lot of guides in the area. It is extremely important to hire a full time Miami fishing guide. There are a lot of part time guides that do not rely on making there full income from guiding. That means they have another job and are not on the water daily. That can make all the difference in the world in having a successful fishing trip. One of the first questions you need to ask your guide before hiring him is, “Are you a full time guide?” Fish are constantly on the move and with tides changing everyday, it is so important to know where the fish were yesterday. That’s why hiring a full time fishing guide can make you fishing trip a memorable one.

Everglades Fishing Report

jasons — Tue, 04 Sep 2018 17:35:19 +0000

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. Just wanted to give you a quick update on how the fishing has been in the Everglades. There are still plenty of tarpon around to target, we have gotten into them on fly and spin. Most of the fish have been in the 30-50lb range, with a few in the 60lb class. The snook fishing has also been very good. There has been some bigger fish out near the Gulf and lots of smaller fish in to the backcountry. The redfish has been the big surprise lately. We have ran into a bunch of 15-18in redfish all along the Gulf coast.

We have had lots of rain in the Glades this summer and that is a good thing for the entire Everglades ecosystem. We should start to see a good push of some bigger tarpon over the next few weeks. Give me a call or email to get on the water! The best thing about this time of year is, the fishing is great and you hardly see another boat all day.

I have also added a Jon boat to the fleet. So if kicking around through the mangroves to get back to some untouched bays is your cup of tea, we can definitely do that.

The fishing down in the Everglades still remains pretty steady. There are plenty of resident tarpon around and once the bait pushes down, the bigger fish should show. There are plenty of 30-60 lbers hanging around. We have gotten them on both fly and plugs.

We are still getting our afternoon rains which means the snook fishing in the backcountry remains excellent. Plenty of smaller fish to mess around with but also so slot size snook hanging around with them.

I am working on a second boat at the moment. It is going to be a jon boat to kick around in some areas I cant get the skiff into. Some of the snook fishing in these back lakes is as good as gets, as they never see a lure or fly. If exploring some of these hard to reach areas is of interest, let me know and we can definitely do that.

The fishing is only going to get better and I have plenty of availability over the next few weeks. Give me a call or email to get out on the water.

All the best,

Capt. Jason Sullivan

Flamingo Fishing Report

jasons — Fri, 22 Jun 2018 14:31:47 +0000

We are in full swing in our summer time fishing pattern. The tarpon fishing has continued to be excellent in the Everglades. Most of the fish are in the 30-60lb class, which is my favorite. We are doing great on fly and plugs. Later in the morning we have been running into some bigger fish in some of the bigger rivers. The baby tarpon are still very active all day busting minnows. This always fires up with lots of rain. Hopefully it continues to rain in the Everglades!

When the wind shifts east, we have been able to do some snook fishing on the gulf beaches in the park. It is prime time for that right now.

Give me a call or email to get out on the water and experience some summer time Glades fishing.

Everglades Fishing Report

It has been a while since my last report and just wanted to give everyone an update on what is going on in the Everglades. It has been a very busy spring thus far and I have been on the water almost everyday. The tarpon fishing has been excellent with lots of fish in the 40-80lb range. We have been getting lots of bites on fly and plugs everyday. This is has been a great tarpon season with lots of fish jumped and landed. It helps when there has been this amount of fish around this season. It should be great summer fishing with these fish around.

It is hard to leave the tarpon but when we do, the snook and bass fishing has also been pretty good due to the low water levels. We have caught those fish on both fly and plugs.

I am definitely looking forward to the summer fishing! I have only a few days open in May but have some days open in June. So give me a call or respond to these email to get out on the water!
