Background
There is nothing better than spending time on the water fishing and sightseeing in one of the world's most beautiful national parks. Join me and Captain Slade on a guided charter excursion in the Everglades National Park and Ten Thousands Islands.
Techniques
We will be fishing with light tackle while in the back country and inshore around the islands. We will use hard and soft baits as well as live bait such as shrimp, crabs and any live bait we catch throwing a cast net.

Summer fishing was great with some serious catching of Tarpon, Trout, Redfish, Snook and Grouper! While live bait works a good amount of the time, use of artificial baits such as top water plugs, jerk baits and paddletails have been producing well also! Patience pays off when it comes to searching for those big fish! Give us a call to get your dates in the calendar for a chance to land some of these awesome fish!!
