Trip Summary

The peacock bass are coming back strong from the cold front that we had and Daniel and his son Caleb caught a bunch of em. They also caught just about every other species of fish in the glades making this an incredible day of fishing. Caleb had some nice garfish catches as well as some huge tiger oscars. He rounded out the day with some peacock and largemouth bass and unfortunately lost a huge bass at the boat that got caught up in the lilly pads. His dad Daniel had some good size largemouth and peacock bass as well as a bunch of nice size tiger oscars as well. The bite is awesome right now in the glades and it gets better as it warms up. March and April are definitely prime times to fish the glades. Trips fill up fast so book today.

Awesome fish of the Everglades
Awesome fish of the Everglades
April 23, 2025
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.
