Everything is Biting! - Fishing is good in general in Everglades National Park, but the winds has made it tougher. Most days when we get out early before wind starts to blow we have a good chance at Tarpon. We are throwing lures and using bait, the Sharks really like the ba more...

It's on back there! - Everglades National Park(Whitewater Bay) is red hot right now, Tarpon and Snook are our main targets big and small. Most anglers want to keep the rod bent so I try to fish areas where we can target other species as well as Tarpon. This past week we r more...
