Good morning Scott. Here's an Everglades fishing report:
Recent Everglades trip produced a special moment when a longtime fishing buddy put everything together and landed a new personal-best largemouth bass at 6 lbs on a hollow-body frog. High water made conditions challenging, but persistence paid off. We caught a handful of bass, with the big fish being the clear highlight of the day. Great reminder that sticking with a technique and learning the details can lead to a fish you’ll remember for a long time.

Fall Fishing Is Back!
Fall has arrived in South Florida, the Sargassum has finally cleared out, and the fishing is getting good again!
It has been a tough summer for offshore fishing in Fort Lauderdale. The Sargassum weed was some of the worst we have seen in years, making trolling difficult and taking a lot of the fun out of offshore fishing.
But now, the weed is mostly gone and the fish are biting!

Peacock bass fishing continues to be productive in South Florida. On a recent trip, we boated 19 peacocks along with a largemouth, with several quality fish mixed in. The fish are beginning to group up more, and we found one active school that produced a strong run of bites. Water temperatures were in the low-to-mid 80s, and the action stayed steady throughout the trip. A very fun day on the water with a visiting couple from Colorado.

Water levels have come up, and the fish have scattered out a little bit. You’ve got to work for them right now, but once you find fish, stay with them. The bite has been fantastic when you get around them.
Lake Okeechobee has been a little on and off lately. Water levels are still low overall but are slowly coming up. We could use some stable weather to really get things going. Once conditions settle in, expect the bass bite to fire up.
