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...

Fun day at "Romp in the Swamp" -
The fishing this time of year gets a little different than the usual Flamingo fishing for me. I like to target the Mutton Snappers and big Yellow Jacks that roam the edge of the Biscayne Bay Flats. The key is to find schools of Pilchards, load up more...
