Everglades and Chokoloskee Fishing Charters - Latest Report

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.
