Excellent fall Fishing by Ariel Cabrera (11/01/2015)
This is a favorite time of the year to fish Flamingo and the west coast of Florida. Fishing has been good like in the summer as we have been catching quite a variety of species. Using soft plastic lures like the monster 3X, Gulp, and Fishbites we have been producing nice-sized snapper, refish,seatrout, and snook. Also, some juvenile tarpon have been invading similar areas very early in the morning.

Fantastic Fall Fishing by Ariel Cabrera (11/15/2014)

Fishing report, Everglades backcountry, 19 November by Bob Lemay (11/19/2012)
This report covers about 10 days from Flamingo to Everglades City. At least half the time we posted backcountry slams on fly or spinning gear.

good redfishing by Ariel Cabrera (10/14/2012)
Good redfishing and bonefishing. The transition from summer to fall has already begun. Much action can be readily seen among east coast beaches and passes but the real secluded fishing begins in the backcountry. The Flamingo waters of Everglades National Park will continue attract many anglers from all over the world but few realize how incredible the fishing really is. Fall fishing Flamingo is fabulous.
