Fishing Report for Everglades National Park (Florida Bay)
September 15, 2008
Hurricane Ike’s recent sweep underneath the State has really hindered the fishing grounds
of Everglades NationalPark. This is mainly due to the rough and windy conditions South
Floridians have been facing over the past few
weeks. Florida Bay’s water has turned into a mocha cappuccino colored soup bowl. Anglers
competing in lastweekend’s Herman Lucerne Backcountry Tournament found fishing
conditions not very favorable, but certainlypossible. After talking with fellow guides, the
common strategy among competitors seemed to be finding clear water.
Over the past weekend, the cleanest water seemed to be in the middle-upper section of
Florida Bay, fishing theleeward side of the islands to get away from heavy winds. I suggest
try throwing a Rapala Skitterwalk early in themorning to wake up the fish. Snook and
Redfish will lay in sandy pot-holes on grass flats to ambush mullet that pass
above them. As the sun gets higher, anglers can switch to more of a typical sight fishing
scenario. A sure way toentice these fish to strike is by using shrimp tipped jigs, Bass
Assassin Eels, and even flies. The end of the summer isalso a great time to hone your skills
on catching Tarpon. Schools of juvenile Silver Kings have been flushed out into
the bay by the massive amounts of fresh water run off. Fly gear from 5 to 8 weight is perfect
for practicing bowing andfighting skills on these acrobatic jumpers. These fish do all of the
same aggressive moves, only faster and a little less
predictable than larger fish. Once an angler has mastered these techniques on smaller fish,
he/she will be ready tobegin targeting larger Tarpon in the spring using 12 weight fly gear.
Over the next month anglers can expect to experience a slow transition into fall weather
patterns and fishing scenarios. As the rains subside and thetemperatures begin to fall,
Snook and Redfish will start to return to the more remote backcountry areas and
estuaries. This can be a very exciting time to fish areas like Whitewater Bay and even back
into Hells Bay. These fishhave already begun to line up on the Eastern Wall of Whitewater
Bay, waiting to follow the bait up into these remote
estuaries. The most productive way to target these fish over the next month is using shrimp
tipped jigs working thedeeper points and hollow mangrove edges. If you prefer to use
artificial baits the Rapala X-Rap XR8 is a deadly lure
that can be used in a spastic twitching action to mimic a wounded baitfish. The Rapala Lure
Company has recentlylaunched a new underwater video section demonstrating how to work
each of their lures correctly. www.Rapala.com/products/luresdetail.cfm. If you are fortunate
to have a swimming pool in the back yard, this is an excellent place
to practice your retrieving action in controlled clear water environment before your next trip
on the water.
