FAQ
Why do you only fish the Everglades in the spring and fall?
Timing is everything…
For over 30 years, since 1992, I have run my guide business and lived full time two hours North of the Everglades in the Boca Grande/Charlotte Harbor area.
In the spring thousands of tarpon migrate through the Everglades to arrive at my home area to spawn. They stay throughout the entire summer. After the spawn they feed heavily before heading South through the Everglades and the Florida Keys back to the Atlantic and beyond for the winter.
May, June, September and October are peak months for tarpon in the Everglades.
During the fall migration the fish tend to stop and hold in the Everglades to rest up and feed before making the move back to the Atlantic, Caribbean and beyond.
There is no other time of year and no other place in the country to fish for tarpon with almost zero fishing pressure.
Why are tarpon the only species you target?
I used to fish for small fish till I caught a big fish.
Where in the Everglades do you fish?
I mostly fish out of Flamingo. Right square in the middle of nowhere.
