Everglades Fishing Report

Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report

The fishing this summer down in Flamingo has still been pretty strong on the Gulf edge of the Everglades. There has still been a lot of tarpon around with the huge amounts of bait along the shorelines. I had the opportunity to help the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust put some accustic tags in some Everglades tarpon. We were able to tag 2 fish in the 50-60 lb range. I was honored to help them and see the science side of fishing.

The snook and redfishing on the coast has also been pretty good. Having the right tide is crucial and some days you have a short window before the fishing is over when the water gets to high out there. The baby tarpon has been the star of the show. It seems like a new crop of fish are around and they traveling in schools. They have been devouring anything that's in front of them and usually gives us a great acrobatic show.

Give me a call to get out on the water.

Tight Lines,
