First front of the season

Capt. Jeff Legutki
October 20, 2009
Ten Thousand Islands - Saltwater Fishing Report

Well the first cold front has finally made it all the way down. A break from the Africa like heat has been welcomed by many anglers as well as the fish.

Strong northeasterly winds blow the nutrient rich plankton filled waters offshore, providing cleaner waters and lower tides.

Time for sight fishing to begin! Time for fish to start their way to the darker back waters in search of their winter hoods.

No more need for the first light excursions, now we wait for the sun to rise and warm up the shallow muddy coves in search for snook and red fish.

As weeks move along winter patterns move into transition. The fin fish will start to move offshore and the crabs and shrimp headline the menu.

Slower presentations, and when the temp really starts to drop, it will be time to start down sizing our offerings.

This is where the Everglades reign supreme for winter destinations to fish. With all the protection from the 1000's of islands, finding a calm lee to fish is never a problem. Redfish will scour the shallow coves and snook will lay up in mere inches of water soaking up the sun.

This is where the quiet stalking begins, hunting our targets with ninja like moves, creeping slowly searching for the weary snook or redfish.

Don't let the winter detour you from fishing, here in the Everglades the sight fishing is at its finest. Protected waters, warmer than anywhere else in the US.still provides some of the best fishing in the world. So come down and try sight fishing the shallows of the 'Glades

Ten Thousand Islands Fishing Forecast:

As the waters chill, the clarity will improve. Red fish and snook move into the shallows to warm themselves and feed.

Target Species:

red fish, snook, or anything else that eats the fly.

More Fishing Reports:

 

Come fish the 10,000 Islands and the Everglades National Park for tarpon, snook, red fish and more with either flyrods or light tackle. All artificial no live bait, geared for two anglers. Fly through the shallows in a Hellsbay Whipray. Fishing with the finest equiptment like Sage fly rods and Bauer reels or St. Croix spin rods and Quantum reels. Sight fishing is my passion! Target the toughest saltwater species in mere inches of water and fool them into eating year round.
