Mid June Fishing Report

6 foot juvenile Tiger Shark is beautiful

My favorite time of year. Loads of bait, hungry fish and lots of options. I have been taking my guests to the far backcountry of Everglades National Park the last 10 days. Baitfish such as pilchards and silverside ballyhoo have flooded the flats and are choice baits for Snook, Trout, Red-fish, and Tarpon. Lots of fat mangrove snapper have moved into the grass flats as well providing great action and good food. Snook have started their summer migration along the Cape Sable beaches. Medium and large Tarpon are in the backcountry channels. Not swarming but if you are patient you will get a couple on the right tides.

Fox Sport Fishing Trek rods and Diablo Spinning reels continue to do the job for me day in and day out. 

Here are some pictures as of late. A thunder storm chased us in giving me a  little time to post the report. Going back out for the outgoing tide when it clears up.
