I was fishing out of Flamingo, Everglades National Park all of last week. It has been warm in South Florida, so there has been plenty of tarpon hanging around gorging on the loads of bait in the backcountry. These fish are in the 50-80lb class range. They will hang around until a cold front blows…
The red tide of 2018 has been worse in recent Florida history. Red Tide is a natural occurrence, but when fueled by releases from Lake O that are loaded with nutrients, it turns into a ecological disaster. When this happens it causes not only havoc on the environment but also on the wildlife. It has…
Fishing continues to be pretty good down in the Everglades. There has been a big push of bait down the Gulf Coast, which has kept plenty of fish on the coast. We have had some great tarpon fishing when the wind lays down bit, with plenty of fish in the 10-50lb range. I suspect some…
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…

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…
I hope everyone is having a great summer so far. The fishing down in the Everglades continues to be pretty darn good. We have had lots of rain so far this summer, which really helps the fishing and the overall health of the Everglades. The summer tarpon fishing has been good with lots of fish in…
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…
What a difference a cold front makes on these fish. I tell people all the time, tarpon are very sensitive to any weather, especially cold weather. Last week we had lots of hungry tarpon around and hooked a bunch of fly and spin. This past week a cold front blew through and completely shut down…
