Recent Fishing Reports

Early October 2026
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.

Late September 2026
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.
