Great spring time fishing. Get it while its hot !!!!!

This week has been great for fishing. The sailfish are still around and biting. Later in the day the tunas have been showing up in decent numbers weighing up to 30 pounds. The mahi have moved in a bit just not in the big number like the late summer.

Chase and his father joined me for a half day afternoon trip. There was not very much wind jn the beginning of the trip so we started my slow trolling live baits. We had a cut off or two then had two nice Mahi-mahi jump on. Got them in the boat and the wind picked up enough to slide a kite out. So we had 3 live baits hanging from the kite and raised two sailfish. Only got a bite from one and it ended up being the bigger of the two. The fish was pretty stubborn and did a lot of awesome jumps, after about 25-30 min fight we had a very nice release and put the baits back out and landed a very nice 10-15 pound blackfin tuna. All and all a very good trip with awesome people one of those days that you wish you could have everyday!

Everglades fishing is known for largemouth bass and peacock bass but theres so many more species to catch. And while no two trips are alike, cuetomers have been catching some really cool fish such as: Tiger Oscars - A beautiful fish with an amazing red/orange pattern. These fish put up a really hard fight and are ferocious predatory fish. Gator Gar - Tons of needle like teeth, armor plated skin and a big attitude, these fish are mean. They fight hard and even jump out of the water as they are being reeled in. Customers have been catching some pretty good size gars lately on topwater and shiners. Jaguar cichlids - An absolutely beautiful fish with a golden yellow color and a dark pattern similar to a jaguar. This is a non native species and are normally seen in home aquariums but they have made their way to the waterways of Florida. Extemely aggressive and dagger like teeth make this fish is an amazing catch in the glades. Bowfin - Agressive, hard fighting, toothy and strong pretty much sum up a bowfin. They are a native fish to Florida. Most of the bowfin my customers catch range from 2 to 10 pounds and put up an extremely hard fight. While its hard to specifically target bowfin in the Everglades, they are an amazing bycatch. Mayan Cichlid - Another beautiful, non native fish found in the glades. It has an olive brown to orange color with dark markings. They are an aggressive fish that put up a good fight on light tackle. They are a good eating fish with white, flaky meat which make them a favorite fish for aome anglers. Warmouth - While small in size, they are a very cool fish with amazing markings that are fun to catch on light tackle. We dont see many of these fish so when we do its usually a round of high fives and tons of photos. While there are so many other species of fish in the glades, these are some of the most popular fish that are caught by my customers. Now is a great time to book a trip with Everglades Fishing Experience. The fishing in the glades has been amazing.
