About
Depending on time of year, our targets would consist of snook, redfish, trout and the world-famous tarpon. We will use a variety of tackle including circle hooks with live bait such as threadfins, pilchards and finger mullet when the water temperatures are warmer. We will also throw my personal favorite the almighty top water plugs in the early morning hours. If you have never fished with top water lures you should definitely ask me about it. The strike you get from a top water lure far exceeds any other. During the cooler months we will be fishing with live shrimp or jigs tipped with pieces of shrimp. If shallow water backcountry fishing is your game then do not hesitate to book an Everglades Inshore Fishing Charter now!
