It has been a while since my last report and I wanted to give you a quick update of what is going on in the Everglades. I have been fishing almost everyday and things are now to starting to slow down a little for me. The fishing has been really good, especially the tarpon. We…
It has been a rainy week here in South Florida with a few weather cancellations. I would probably say this is the best thing for the Everglades, so its not such a bad thing. The fishing has been really good for snook and baby tarpon with a few bigger tarpon mixed in. I expect it to get better…
We are in full swing tarpon season with lots of fish moving in the Everglades and Oceanside of the keys. Just to give you an idea of the schools of fish moving on the Oceanside, we got a great drone shot of a school of about 500 tarpon. Some of the best fishing of the…
For the past two years, projects that focus on restoring Everglades have been continuous. There have been great improvements in these projects, but where exactly are they in terms of completion?
