Everglades City, Florida - Saltwater Fishing Report
10,000 Islands
Jesse Karen

Took Mike and his Brother Ken out into the Everglade's Ten Thousand Islands for some shallow water Snook fishing.

I was lucky and blacked out the baitwells in 1 throw of the cast net. The bite was tuff with the high wind and gusts but we made it happen. Lot's of small Snook in the 18 to 26 inch range, Ken got a beautiful 30 inch Red and both finished off the day with 6 tarpon Jumps and 2 landing's each. All in all a fine day!

About The Author: Captain Jesse Karen

Company: Mad Snookn

Area Reporting: Marco Island, Naples and The Everglades

Bio: A typical day out on the water, is never so typical. We start out with a leisurely ride through the backcountry in Mangrove lined channels. I always see MANATEE, usually see big ALLIGATORS and don't be surprised to see a BALD EAGLE or two! The water is golden brown, typically too dark to see through until we start stalking fish in the shallows. Almost immediately, bait will be jumping, tarpon will be rolling and gulping air and snook will be "Popping" the surface catching bait. I call my fishing experience unique. Most Snook guides guarantee Snook at night, well, I guarantee them during the day. I also, practice catch and release sport fishing unless a fish should die while fighting. I do however understand the urge for fresh fish, and if you want it fresh, I'll get it for you! I am also unique because I have spent my life earning a living in Real Estate and Finance. I have always fished for fun. I have fished 300 days a year for as long as I can remember. I have found a reliable, fun and action packed way to catch some of the most sought after game fish and I am anxious to share it with you. In as little as 4 hours we can catch Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, Trout, Snapper, Shark, Jack, Grouper, Sheepshead and more!
