Everglades City and Chokoloskee can be really nice this time of year.

I’m not only talking about our “Chamber of Commerce” weather in the Fall/Winter,  but the fishing can be pretty darn good also!

Fly fishing or Spin/Plug fishing for Snook, Tarpon & Redfish can be spectacular this time of year!  As the cold fronts move down through Florida so do the water temps. This can make the fish very active at times.  If we’re being honest,  I love a cold “morning” in The Everglades.  This means my Clients and I don’t have to be out at the CRACK, of dawn that is.  A later start can be the Power Play sometimes.  I love giving The Glades some time to heat up.  Being out in The Park and hearing the Snook popping or watching some Redfish busting bait or seeing Tarpon actively rolling is what it’s all about.  A lot of times all it takes is the Sun to get a little higher in the sky to get things going.  It’s like Mother Nature is giving the fish a little “nudge” to instigate a feeding period.  

Feel free to give me a shout or reach out to me through my website to book your next fishing adventure.  

Enjoy Thanksgiving with your family and friends!

Fishing The Everglades can be great this time of year!  Not only can the weather be great,  the fishing bite can be great as well!  

Snook fishing can be really fun this time of year.  The water temps are slowly dropping,  which can be a great thing!  Bait is everywhere.  Acres of bait can be found all of The Everglades right now.  From outside all the way to the Backcountry.  

Snook are my favorite fish on the Planet and The Glades can be an awesome place to target them!  Snook are a keen species to target on both Fly tackle or Spin/Plug gear.  I’ve had Snook just lay there emulating a log or a stick on the bottom and let me pole right by them before.  Fishing for Snook is like hunting essentially.  Poling their haunts can be so much fun that there have been many a day that I wish there was more time in the trip to keep fishing for them as opposed to running back to the dock.  

Chokoloskee is my home and where I’m based out of.  Chokoloskee is on the Northern end of The Everglades National Park and a great geographical location to strike out into The Glades.  If you have never been to my neck of the woods, please feel free to reach out and we’ll plan your next trip.  There is great Lodging on Chokoloskee and in Everglades City which is about 3 miles up the road from Chokoloskee.  

Thanks for checking out my Website and again,  if you have any questions regarding the fishing in The Everglades National Park, be it Fly Fishing or Spin/Plug Fishing,  don’t hesitate to reach out.

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served and who are serving!  

Let us please not forget the sacrifices our Veterans have made and will continue to make to keep our Country free.

With that being said, the bite in the Everglades National Park continues to get better and better.  If you are a fly fisherman or a conventional Spin/plug angler this is a great time to fish the Glades.  We have not received any “real” cold fronts yet so the fish are everywhere.  This is a great thing if you like to explore the Everglades national Park from the Coastal Bights to deep in the Backcountry.  

The Snook bite is consistent along with Redfish and Tarpon.  This is the great thing about the Everglades one cast could result in an explosive strike from a Snook, and the next cast could be an epic take from a Tarpon, you just never know.

Don’t let the Everglades elude you!  This is a great time to experience this wonderful place.  I feel very blessed to be able to show people this amazing place.

Please feel free to reach out. Give me a call. Shoot me a text. I’d love to talk fishing with you.

Fishing in the Everglades National Park has been pretty darn good!  It has been a little breezy with these fronts coming down, but that is one nice thing about the Backcountry of the Everglades you can almost always get out of the wind.  The plethora of islands that exist in the Everglades coastal area all the way through to the Backcountry can be great way to hone your fly fishing skills on any given day.  Throw in some wind and maybe a little rain and one can definitely appreciate The Glade’s natural layout.  


The Snook, Tarpon and Redfish can be anywhere this time of year.  A Backcountry Slam can happen on any outing in The Park.  

The migratory birds are making their way back to the Everglades for the Winter and part of the Spring.  I truly look forward to seeing all the wildlife throughout The Everglades National Park.  Sometimes it is surreal to see so many animals.  From Roseate Spoonbills to Saltwater Crocs,  The Everglades can deliver a sensory overload around any corner.  

A few more weeks and Hurricane Season will be in the rear view mirror,  thank goodness!  In the meantime,  the fishing in The Glades will only heat up!
