The bass fishing in the Florida Everglades is probably one of the most consistent fisheries in the state, even though the Fish and Wildlife Commission has given it the #1 fishery stats when it comes to catch per hour you still need to fish to believe it. Like most fisheries, knowing how and when to fish the Everglades is key.

The key for us is being the largest and busiest, although we would like to think we are the most productive guide service in Florida. Which we always say, comes from knowing where the fish are going to bite before the fish even know it! We use cycles, trends, moon phases, water levels and simply our years of experience still continue to separate us from all of the others and today was just another example as we had out long time return customer Wade Weadows  and his friends for a day of fishing in the Everglades.

The day went well with lots of fish being caught on artificial lures as well as live bait, several in the 4 to 5 pound class. Always great to have these guides fishing with us, look forward to having you back in March.

  Law enforcement officers with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) cited a Sawgrass Recreation Park airboat captain, Charles W. Riley, D.O.B 10-28-47, of Tamarac, Florida with failing to report a boating accident, a misdemeanor, and careless operation, an infraction.
The FWC filed the charges after the airboat Riley was driving, a 28-foot Diamondback, took on water and sank in an Everglades marsh Oct. 4. The incident was not reported to the FWC until Oct. 7.

 FWC investigators determined the airboat’s capacity is 23 people. There were 37 people (cruise ship passengers) on board the vessel when water came over the bow. The boat sank in 6-8 feet of alligator-infested water 100 yards north of Sawgrass Recreation Parkin western Broward County.

Other airboat captains in the area rescued the tourists, among them young children. Some suffered minor injuries. Approximately $5,000 in personal items was destroyed, including cameras and cellular phones.

FWC investigators concluded the airboat was overloaded with people, which caused the boat to sink.

  What a good group of guys, they all work for Purina Pet food company. If you like the outdoors and have animals give Purina a try, the folks there love the outdoors.

 Mark, Rob, and Chris called me up just to make sure they where not using live bait, they fish tournaments back home and wanted to use artificial lures only. Of coarse, I said no problem lets go fishing and see what you can do. It did not take long for me to realize these boys are some serious tournament fisherman.

 This was going to be adventure for sure, they had scheduled a sunrise to sunset trip so I know we were going to  have a long day of fishing.  The day went a little better then expected and it was not without the highs and lows a long day provides, but we managed to have another great day in October which considered by most to be one of the worst months of the year for bass fishing. By the end of the day we caught 17  good solid large mouth bass and peacock bass, up to four pounds.

The fish were caught on swim baits, top water plugs and hard jerk baits style lures.

 Today I took out Hale White and his wife from Thompson, Tenn., what a great young couple. The day started off with a monster explosion that got away, I would say it was 8 to 9 pounds by the look of it. After that loss, it took a bit to re-group and start fishing again.

Every spot we hit produced a couple of good fish. We only spent 4 hours on the water, we boated around 15 fish total with a 5 pound kicker bass.

It was a very exiting morning to say the least, even when I was loading up the boat Hale caught a 3 pounder at the boat ramp. Great job guys, hope to see you again real soon!

 Well this is my 4th day with Phillip and its going to be a good day on Lake Okeechobee. Yesterday we discussed all of the options for other locations to fish and explained that there was a tournament on the lake and asked he would be intersted in fishing it with me. He got really excited and almost yelled, yes I would love to!

My game plane was to fish down South where I’ve been catching some good fish first thing in the morning. We missed a few good fish, then Phillip new what to do with another bait of his own, he then caught the next fish it was about 3 pounds… good job Phillip, his first Okeechobee bass. After the bite slowed down we moved to a flipping area that I have but the fish did not bite so we moved to another spot, caught a few more fish to get our limit of just under 14 pounds. First place had 20lbs, Second was 14.8 and third was 14.4 and we came in fourth place that was good for 20 plus boat field.

Phillip was so happy about fishing his first tournament he decided to fish next Sunday tournament also.

 He will be back next week for another 4 day sunrise to sunset trips.
