Tons of fish caught and a new Personal Best bass for this young man. Also his first Tiger Oscar and he was so excited for it. Got a chance to take my buddy Mike and his son Tripp fishing in the glades and what a day they had. As you can see the big bass are still biting. Mike caught some nice largemouth but his son Tripp put on a clinic catching the most fish and biggest bass. The weather was great with some overcast and not hot at all. Its a great time to book a trip and experience Everglades fishing for yourself.

I just purchased a new 2025 Nitro Z-18 to run my fishing trips out of. The extra speed means more fishiing time for my customers. Theres more dry storage and a starboard side (passenger) console for extra comfort and protection from the elements.

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.
