Everglades Fishing Update!

Where's Everybody At?

I know I'm a broken record. Anyways, for those of you that check in from time, just wanted to give you guys an Everglades fishing update.

The Glades is fishing really well. Some areas are ridiculous with boat traffic, but fortunately I have different areas that fish away from the crowds.

Water is coming down nicely. The cold fronts over the last couple of weeks changed the bite a little, but if you time your days right, catch rates can go into the 3 figures.

Pea's are starting to show themselves here and there, but once the warm up trend sets in, I'm sure that fishing will be NUTS!!

I have moved my fishing reports over to my website @BassinWithCaptLou.com Just wanted to drop by give you guys the fishing update.

Be well!

Thanks for the update. The peas have been hitting hard up here in Ida and Osbourne. Anything that looks like a shiner or shad, especially lipless cranks or wakebaits.

Tiny boat, but a big deck.

I hit up Holiday park yesterday afternoon from 4-8 and the fishing was great. didn't get anything bigger than 4lbs to play but a bunch of quality fish the whole time. Water is really low gators, topwater bite is on.

Was a decent Sunday out on Osbourne. I got 2 Mike Bucca baby Bull Gill baits in my monthly shipment of lures, so trued those out. Didn't expect the amount of hits I got, but it was a good day.

As for the "tin can", I currently have it in "surgery" again. Framing out a middle floor and front deck. Need to get a foot controlled troller for the front of it now.

The largemouth bite is phenomenal right now in the Glades!
Fantastic outing yesterday! We landed 150 largemouth! Crazy, crazy, bite!
