Flying down to Miami to do Everglades City then Key Largo for a few days in mid-november and need some expert advise! This looks like the place to find some.
Planning on fishing the brackish waters at Everglades City by canoe then whever I can at Key Largo. Probably from the hotel pier (The Westin had the best rate) and perhaps rent a boat at John Pennekamp to fish the backwaters.
What equipment should I bring and what lures/bait/hook sizes, etc should I bring/buy?
I mainly use Shimano 2000's and 4000's spinning reels and also have Calcutta 101, 250 and 400 baitcasters. What do you recommend and what size line?
I fly fish, spin, and bait cast but, due to size limitations on the airlines, may only bring spin and baitcasting travel rods.
Lastly, does anyone know the River WIlderness lodge in Everglades?
Thanks for your help,
Mike
