Large International Group out of Miami went on a fishing  adventure on March 20, 2009  with Bass Online Fishing Outfitters for Air-boat Rides through out the Everglades and in addition they went Bass Fishing at Sawgrass  Recreation Park.

Enthusiastic group of 15 employees from several different states and a couple of different countries. The group started with an Air-boat ride, it was great sight seeing tour that included gators, birds and wildlife that was encounter on the trip.

Next, we loaded everyone on bass boats. Off we went exploring the Everglades, with many in the group fishing for the first time. The Group was eager to learn the history of the Everglades, while enjoying conversation about conservation and continued discussions on the surrounding wildlife, not to mention learning about the different species of  fish that were caught. Each boat capture quite a few fish, the group landed approximately 150 bass in just a couple hours of fishing as you can see in the photo above.

The trip ended with a walking exhibit, an Everglades wildlife habitat tour and viewing alligators in capture.

It was an exciting and morale building afternoon for the corporate employees, a day of fishing and sightseeing the Florida Everglades.  Nice to see employers rewarding their hard working employee’s with afternoon to relax with some recreational entertainment.

Today I had the pleasure of doing an afternoon trip with Karl and Brad two brothers which were down for 4 days to have a good time and catch lots of bass. Capt Tony had them out for the first three days, they had such a great time they decided last minute to go out on there final day. Capt Tony had a return customer coming in for a full day and could not accommodate them, the office looked over the schedule and suggested that they try the afternoon bite with me.

They decided to go in the afternoon after when I finish my morning trip. I picked them up at a local hotel, it was quite rainy, I was not sure of how fishing was going to be because of the rain. They were not concerned about the weather, off we went looking for the afternoon bite. I have to admit, I was excited as they were. I really like the late bite, it just seems I always do good and on this trip it was no different.

Not sure if it was the weather, but both managed to catch a couple of nice fish in the four pound range and managed to catch up to 40 fish in a short afternoon. These guys could really fish and we were appreciative to have them!

Till next time tight lines and good fishing….

Today I had the pleasure of fishing with Shane and Lena from Charlotte, NC.

When we started our adventure in the Everglades Shane told me how he is experienced at bass fishing and fishes the FLW at times. I told them they were in for a really good time, the fishing is red hot that we could catch up to 50 or 100 fish today.

As it goes in the Everglades, they caught 60 plus fish today. As you can tell by the smiles on there faces, the Everglades did not disappoint anyone once again.

Till next time tight lines and good fishing….

Everglades Holiday Park Bass Fishing

Today was a good day in the Everglades for fishing, I fished with long time repeat customer Jim Anthis from Syracuse, NY .

Jim came down for a short visit to see his mom and me of coarse…haha. I received a last minute call, can we get out for a short trip in the Everglades?

I told him all about the fishing and how the water is dropping which makes the catching good numbers of fish a sure thing. Plus the quality fish are also biting on artificial lures, so we decided to start our journey out in the Everglades.

We only had a short time fame to fish, but we still managed to catch over 30 fish up to four pounds.

Till next time tight lines and good fishing….
