September can still yield some good fishing and i have plenty of availability so come on down and give me a shout!

Come on down and catch your own huge variety of fish in the beautiful Florida Keys. The weather is hot and the fishing is hotter! Book your trip today with Captain Jon to make your own vacation memories for your family.

Ahoy, fellow anglers! Today was a day to remember on the waters around the Everglades National Park. As the sun peeked over the horizon, casting a golden hue, our journey began. Navigating through the labyrinth of mangroves, the serenity was only interrupted by distant bird calls. The scent of salt and earth filled the air, a reminder of our pristine surroundings. Upon reaching the shallow flats, the sight was nothing short of breathtaking. Clear waters, vibrant seagrass beds, and darting baitfish greeted us. The boat gently anchored, and the game was on. As we cast our lines, the lures danced with an almost magical allure. The anticipation hung heavy in the air as we waited for the inevitable tug. And then it happened - a powerful, exhilarating pull on the line. A snook had taken the bait! The battle was fierce, with the rod bending under its strength. It was a contest of wills, a dance of determination. But that was just the beginning. The day unfolded like a well-choreographed dance of casting, hooking, and releasing. Snook after snook, each with its unique spirit and fight. This day of snook fishing was more than just catching fish. It was about experiencing the raw beauty of the Everglades National Park and creating memories that would stay with us for a long, long time.

After long hours of fighting such an incredible fish, with the great crew we had, we managed to land this beautiful swordfish. Everyone made it home safe and everyone was able to take a cooler full of fish. If only this happened everytime. Come book a trip with Pelagic Raptors for an experience you will neer forget.

The beautiful thing about south Florida is that theres always something to do no matter the weather today the winds where not ideal for crossing over into the Everglades by water so in stead we towed the skiff up the road and went fishing in the freshwater side of the Everglades on our quick half day trip we caught a mix bag of south Florida native and non native game fish like large mouth bass , peacock bass , and mayan cichlid we chaesd rolling tarpon in the mix with no luck but none stop action with bass and cichlids if your visiting the beautiful florida keys and would like to knock a peacock bass off the bucket list it’s definitely something we can do .
