Well it’s official! Winter is here! One of my favorite Seasons in The Glades. This time of year can be epic! The Everglades National Park offers so much to the Anglers who venture out into it. If you’re a hardcore Fly Angler or a Bass fisherman down deep anything from Fly tackle to Bass gear is all you need to have a great time in the Everglades. The Snook and Tarpon fishing has been a blast so far and only should get better and better as we begin our progression towards Spring. Depending on how “Winterish” it gets down here will dictate how the fish behave. Water temperatures are great right and promote fish feeding. Cool mornings with a great little warmup throughout the day makes for a fun time in the Everglades from Chokoloskee all the way down to Flamingo. Get out there and experience what such a great fishery has to offer! I’ll say it again and again, if you have not been blessed enough to have been able to spend a day or two is this spectacular ecosystem, you definitely owe it to yourself! Thanks again for checking out my website and remember if you have any questions regarding this special place or Alaska, please feel free to contact me regarding any questions that you may have.

The fishing in the Everglades National Park has been great this Fall! It is only going to get better as we transition into Winter. Be it Fly Fishing or Spin/Plug Fishing, pick your poison! On one of my most recent trips with a Fly Angler looking for Snook we were pleasantly surprised with a nice Tripletail. You just never know what you might encounter in The Everglades, that’s for sure. This place is magical. On this particular morning we were a little fogged in, but persevered after about an hour wait. When fog rolls in down here in The Glades, your best bet is to wait it out. I did see a few boats running in the fog which saddened me. The Everglades National Park is a place for all walks of life to enjoy. This is why in foggy conditions, the safe bet is to wait for it to lift. Kayakers and Canoers can be around any corner. Safety is paramount. The good Lord looked out for us, that’s for sure. Light winds and great visibility were our reward once it cleared up and made for a great day! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions regarding Alaska or The Everglades National Park. My calendar is filling up, so be sure to book your trip well in advance, if possible. Thanks for stopping by my website and checking it out! Semper Fi, Capt. Ron Fly Fishing and Spin/Plug Fishing in The Everglades National Park has been pretty darn good lately. I love this time of year. Making that run in the morning with a light jacket on and sipping on some coffee, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm! It almost doesn’t get any better than that. Watching the Glades wake-up is pretty spectacular. From Roseate Spoonbills looking for breakfast to Snook chasing Glass Minnows down a shoreline. The Everglades never disappoints.
Spin/Plug Fishing fishing with soft plastics, be it Texas rigged jerk baits or any of your favorite plastics on a jig head will catch fish right now. Twitch baits, maybe downsized a bit will definitely bring some fish to the skiff also. Fly Fishing (my passion) is also paying off right now. Flies should be swapped out constantly until you find out what the fish are keying in on that day. Sometimes all it takes is a color change. Going from a darker Fly to a brighter Fly or vice versa can be the key to bringing some fish to hand. The whole Park is fishing really well right now. From the Outside to the Backcountry. Please feel to reach out to me if you have any questions regarding the fishing in the Everglades National Park or Alaska. These two places are unbelievable fisheries and should be on everyone’s bucket list. Thanks again for taking the time to check out my website and my fishing reports. Semper Fi, Capt. Ron Florida is definitely catching up with the rest of the Country regarding our cool down. Water temps and air temps are dropping with every cold front passing through.
The fishing this time of year can be awesome! Fly Fishing The Everglades in The Fall can be a blast. I get asked all the time by my Clients, “what do I need to do before my trip”? My response each and every time is, PRACTICE CASTING. It doesn’t matter if you are a Spin Angler or a Fly Fishing Aficionado. Pick up a rod and hit the backyard for ten or fifteen minutes a couple of times before you come down and fish The Park. Fishing a mangrove shoreline can be rather daunting if you never have done it before and pretty rewarding if you put in the time and practice. If Snook, Redfish and Tarpon were easy to catch everyone would do it. Practice casting prior to any fishing trip can be the difference between a good trip and an awesome trip, I promise. The Everglades and its fishery will get in your blood. Once you experience it you will want to come back time and again. With this being said, the bite has been great. We are in the Winter transition phase in the Park. The Snook and Redfish are everywhere. Tarpon are definitely a favorite this time of year, but you always have to be ready. Tarpon are creatures of habit and will hangout in the same haunts, but they will definitely surprise you as long as you pay attention. I continue to find Tarpon in spots that I never knew about by just paying attention and being aware of my surroundings. Fly Fishing and Light Tackle fishing this time of year can be a blast! As I mentioned earlier, grab a rod and practice. You owe it to yourself and your Guide. Thanks for stopping by my webpage! Feel free to reach out with any questions you might have about The Everglades or Alaska. I’d love to help out. Semper Fi, Capt. Ron |
