The Memorial Day has come and gone and so have all the extra boats on the water. It is more difficult to fish during these busy holidays. Uneducated (with the Everglades) anglers do not realize the pressure they place on the species who call the Everglades home. A few tips to help make your time on the water more productive.
1. Be mindful of other people fishing. When crossing the areas around a fisherman be mindful that you may be spooking the fish around them.
2. Know before you go! Be mindful of the tides as they will determine your trip due to areas being too shallow to cross at low tide.
3. Bring lots of water and snacks. Beer is great but it is not water and dehydrates the body quick.
4. Turtle grass takes 20+ years to recover from a prop scarring. Turtle grass is the most precious nursery we have along side with the reef! Manatee need it and many breeding fish depend on it. Trim up your motors to avoid the scarring.
5. Bring chum, it helps to get the fish in a frenzy.
These are just a few suggestions to help you enjoy your trip without harming the most beautiful and unique ecosystem in the world!

The Bonefish eat the best at dusk and dawn however, the best time to spot them on the flats is at noon when the sun is the highest in the sky.
Hi, Congratulations to the site owner for this marvelous work you’ve done. It has lots of useful and interesting data.
Thank you for useful information.
use these 3 fishing tips too.1. Fish face upstream. If you are behind them, you can catch them directly in front of you.2. If you can see to the bottom of the creek, they can see you! Approaching a creek or stream from the bank often spooks fish.3. It is much easier to cast to a pocket, pool or small riffle from the center of a stream and maintain a slow retrieve. Best of all you are in an ideal position to cast effectively towards either bank.
