Flamingo - Saltwater Fishing Report
Spring has arrived in South Florida and now is the time to get out on the water and have some fun catching sea trout, snook, tarpon, jacks, mackerel, bluefish, snapper, grouper and ladyfish in the bay. Water temperatures are rising in the bay and our bay fish seem to be enjoying that. We have had some windy days and that won't change until May but that should not be much of a problem seeing there are many places in North Bay and a few in South Bay that have protected waters. Live bait fishing continues to produce fish and artificial lures like the Rapala X Raps and Twitchin Rap and Hookup lures tipped with soft plastics can be deadly.
Almost all of my recent charters have been in Flamingo but that will change now that South Florida is warming up. My local trips will be seeing more and more action right up to summer.
Offshore fishing for sailfish, dolphins, kingfish and blackfin tunas has been very good recently but the conditions have been choppy.
Flamingo in Everglades National Park has been decent and will only get better as waters in the Park start to warm up. Tarpon fishing has been excellent for those that don't mind putting in a lot of time for a few bites. These silver giants have been eating a variety of artificial lures plus pinfish, ladyfish and mullet. We recently had a big tarpon swim within a few feet of the boat with its tail and dorsal fins clear out of the water. My clients cast to the tarpon's tail were not appreciated by that fish. The next day with another group of fishermen we had a tarpon eat a pinfish under a Cajun Thunder float. The battle lasted 15 minutes before the leader gave way. The pinfish was intended for a large sea trout that were feeding in the same area. Snook fishing in the park has been only fair but that will change in a few weeks when the snook start their spawning season. There have been redfish, snook, sharks, jacks, ladyfish, mackerel, tripletail and cobia available in the Park.
Water levels in the conservation areas of the Everglades continue to be high allowing the largemouth bass to stay out in the shallow flats where they are hard to get to. Soon these bass will fill the canal systems as water levels drop and the bass fishing will be great. I have had a few interesting snook trips in the Glades where we have released up to 20 snook to 8 pounds on plugs.
So there it is! Check the pictures out and decide on where you want to fish on your charter on the Get Em with captain Alan Sherman.

Miami Fishing Forecast:
South Florida Fishing Forecast:
Spring is here and the fishing in South Florida is about to explode. With water temperatures rising sea trout and snook will start their spawning seasons. Bigger fish and bigger numbers of fish! Spanish mackerel, bluefish and kingfish are heading north for the summer. As they pass the Miami area they always provide a months' worth of action. Big jack crevalles will be chasing baitfish schools in North Bay and big tarpon will be stealing baits intended for other fish. Offshore we will see kingfish and Spanish mackerel, bonitos, sailfish, dolphins and blackfin tuna feeding right alongside each other. In Flamingo in Everglades National Park we will see the return of all of the migratory birds as they fill the park and make unbelievable sunrise pictures. Fishing for snook, redfish, sheepshead, blackdrum, snapper, sea trout, jacks ladyfish, sharks, tripletail, cobia and more will be as e exciting light tackle fishing as one could wish for. When the freshwater levels drop in the Everglades Conservation areas the largemouth bass stack up in the canal systems providing 100 fish days.
Target Species:
SNOOK, TARPON, SHARK, REDFISH, SEA TROUT, MACKEREL, DOLPHINS, TUNA
