About
Fishing the Florida Everglades for bass can be a memorable and exciting experience. Depending on the time of year you can have days of up to 100 bass on fly or spin tackle. One of my favorite ways to catch Everglades’s bass is with a fly rod and any type of top water bug. Seeing a bass come up to the surface and explode on a fly is something you won’t ever forget.
This is a great way to introduce fly fishing to someone or yourself. You’re able to catch a lot of fish and experience what it’s like to fight a fish on fly. For a beginner with the long rod, this is a great starting point as soon as you get the basics of casting down. Although it helps, accuracy and distance is not required to catch fish as it is on the bow of a flats boat sight fishing in shallow water.
If fly fishing isn’t your thing, light tackle is another great way to catch Everglades Bass. I love throwing topwater frogs and senkos. The senkos allow you to get to the bottom and a lot of times that’s where some of the bigger fish are. I like using a Texas rig setup with my senkos or sometimes with no weight at all. Using both setups, you can be very successful catching largemouth bass. Some of the best Everglades bass fishing around!
Make sure to purchase a Florida fishing license for this trip- it's required for all freshwater trips!

I am a South Florida native and full time fishing guide who has been fishing Southern Florida my entire life. The first time I visited Everglades National Park was a true life changing experience. After attending FAU and Nova Southeastern University on a baseball scholarship, I continued on and played 3 years of minor league baseball. I then returned home to my number one passion, fishing Everglades National Park.
The styles of fishing we do are a little challenging at times, but always fun. I am endorsed by Orvis and specialize in fly fishing and light tackle fishing for tarpon, redfish, snook, trout, bonefish, permit, shark, barracuda, and more. I trailer my 17’8ft Hells Bay skiff all over South Florida so we can experience the best the Glades have to offer.
