The Everglades is one of those places that everyone has
heard of but few ever get to see it. It has been written about
in many history books and novels for all very good reason.
The Everglades is one of those last untouched worlds that
happens to also be home to some of The Best Fishing On The
Planet!
What can I expect?
While fishing in the Everglades you can expect to see many
different kinds of birds, plants, crocodiles, alligators, and
many different species of fish. They are all found in a
endless maze of creeks leading to ponds throughout the SW
coast of Florida.
What are the typical species of fish caught in The

Is the fishing in The Everglades really that good?
Fishing in the Everglades is probably one of the best places
you can fish in the entire world. It has many great fighting
species of fish that can be caught by all skill levels all year
long. There are many days a year that you can catch 50-100
Snook, Redfish, and Tarpon in one single day! While Snook
Fishing you can expect fish 6"-40". While fishing for Redfish
you can expect to see them 6"-35" . The Tarpon grow to over
200 pounds. The Groupers can be in the several hundred
pound range. And the Sharks to a whopping 15 Feet Long!
Which is why we don't recommend any swimming trips
anywhere near the Florida Everglades.

Where is The Everglades Fishing destination in
relation to where I will be staying?
The Everglades (Flamingo) area is the Southwestern most tip
of the mainland of Florida. So it would be roughly a 45
minute car ride from the Homestead area down to the ramp.
Normally we will meet at the Cracker Barrel in Florida City
and travel together through the Everglades.

Is there anything interesting about this place in the
Everglades you call Flamingo?
Flamingo is full of history that dates back thousands of years
with the Native Americans. The Seminole and Miccosukee
Indian tribes used the Everglades as refuge during the 1800's
from the "white man" trying to force them onto reservations
in the mid-west. The two tribes were able to live life quite
comfortably due to the animals and fish populations that call
the Everglades their home. Because of the swampy and
mosquito infested conditions the American Army was not
able to follow into the Glades to force the tribes to surrender.
Which is why they are considered the only unconquered
people.
During the late 1800's and early 1900's about 6-12 families
began to call the SW tip of Florida their home. They lived off
the land raising crops, hunting, and fishing and selling their
excess to people in nearby Key West and Homestead. It was
a very hard life putting up with man eating mosquito's and
the occasional hurricane. In the early 1900's the US forced
them to give their town a name so they could open a Post
Office. They contemplated names like "end of the world"
and "Philly Mingo" but the one that stuck was "Flamingo."
During the prohibition years numerous "moonshine" stills
were operating throughout the Everglades and supported
much of the swinging nightlife of surrounding towns. If you
are interested in stories like this you will probably hear a few
from your captain on your trip.
