CAT | Everglades Bass Fishing
Trevor Taylor from Kansas thought there was no place like home, until he caught Bass in Florida. Trevor single handed caught over a 25 lb. bag of Bass. He started off with this nice 5 lb. which was only the begining.
The day did start off a bit slow then when the sun came up the bite turned on , and the action was non stop. Trevor never set down the one Rod all he did all day was swim a worm through the pads.
Here was another result
On the last cast of the day at around 1 PM he landed but another 6 lb. bass and ending a Great day on the water with “The Hawghunter’ , Capt. Frank Carbone.
Nice pair of Bass

Next was Jason Williams from St. Louis MO. who decided to take his father-in-law out for a day of fishing. Jason was out fishing Dave the entire day by catching some nice bass.
So Dave decided to quite down Jason by landing this beauty 7 lb. “Hawg” on a worm. saying he was only after the Big Dawgs.
Then we ended out the week with Gary Westbrook from PA. with his nephew Tyler. Wow what a day they had and in only a 1/2 days worth of fishing. The boys were heading back to PA. their vacation was over, so they wanted to squeeze in a few hour of fishing before catching their plane.
They also had some non stop action with Tyler catch some nice Bass and Gary ending up with his 7 lb. “Hawgs’ of the day .
A great day of Fishing

Well we are in the pre and the spawn season right now and out in the Glades. The big numbers of bass are being caught each day is back. Right now you can expect catching from 50 – over 100 bass in a single day.
The proof is in the Picture’s as these anglers found out this past week.
First I had repeat clients Marianne Mastronunvio and her brother and grandchildren form CT. Between our two boats the group caught over 100 Bass up to 4.5 lb. on Shiners & Artificial baits, Gambler Ace, and top water plastics.
Then the next day was Joe Phillips from Pittsburgh, Joe had a “Fantastic” day catching well over 60 Bass all on Top water, he never put the one rod down and used the same lure all day.
Nice 6 lb.
Then there was my repeat client , “The Boston Connection” ,Bob Vasquezi With his So in law and Grandson Parker. this is what it’s all about 3 generations of family getting together and have Fun. Boy, could 7 year old Parker fish and he caught the big Bass of the day. This Family in only 1/2 day caught around 50 bass and several in the 3- 4 lb. range.
Bob had the bragging rights by catching the most Parker had the largest and Dad well he caught several on top. Bob almost made a mean meatball sandwich, Thanks Bob I enjoyed that the most.
Well, as you can see the fishing is Great , but it’s all about having fun also.

This week I had two female Anglers Ellen & Carol from OK. These Gals have been fishing together for over 20 years. This was a new experience for them as they never fished for Peacock Bass or the Everglade’s.
The trip started out in Miami for peacock bass where they each caught these scrappy fighter.
Double Hook up Nice pair
The next 2 day was off to The Everglade’s where they had each caught several Largemouth on both Shiners and artificial baits.
After being in the suns for two days they almost opted to take off the 3rd day , but they tough it out for a final finally and catching a bunch of bass in only a 1/2 day.
The Action is happening, Join us now while it is Hot in The Glade’s . Lake Okeechobee is also doing very well as you can see from past reports , & The Peacock Bass are getting stronger then ever.

Well, the Everglades was on fire this day for Tim Lander and his Son Jack from Parkland FL.
Tim and Jack are relative’s of Joey Di Renizio who caught the 11 Lb. a few weeks ago.
Even though they didn’t get one that big ,they caught over 60 Bass .
After 6 Doz. shiners young Jack caught more bass , but Dad had the bragging rights with catching the Bigger Bass.
Jack had lost 2 bass that would have topped Dad’s by a few pounds. Last I heard he is still dreaming of the one or two that got away.
Today this Father & Son shared a great day on the water with The Hawgbhunter, Capt. Frank Carbone.
A nice Pair of Bass
So all you Northern’s get out of the cold and join us in the sun for some good Florida Bassin’.

Today I had return Clients Bob Parkinson & Friends from Pennsylvania.
3 Nice Bass
They hammered the Everglade’s today by catching some nice BASS. The bite has been a little tough these past few week . The reason the water levels are still a bit high.
The day started out beautiful until a cold front rolled in around noon and wind blowing about 25- 30 MPH , that forced us off the water. Never the less the boys put some nice Bass in the boat up to 6 lb. All the bass today were caught on shiners. and released for the next angler , “YOU” to catch. If your coming down for the holiday’s give us a call you won’t regret it.

Last week I had a great guy by the name of Marc Carlette from Switzerland.
Marc and I spent a nice out on the water catching over 30 Bass up to 5.5 lb.
Most of Marc’s fish were caught on Shiners until he ran out . The rest of the Bass were caught on Frogs, jerk baits, Zara Spooks,10 – 12″ worms down deep and of course Gambler Ace.
The best time has been first thing in the morning , not that we weren’t catching in the heat of the day, but it’s hot out there. By 1:00 PM you are ready for the swimming pool.
5.5lb. caught on a shiner
The action is good so come on down to South Florida for some top water action in The Florida Everglade’s with Capt. Frank Carbone, “The Hawghunter

The Bedznar’s from Chicago have been fishing with “The Hawghunter” for the past 12 years. Today was special because this was the first time 7 year Old Mathew came fishing with us. His older brother Mike who was 7 the first time he fished with me and is now 18, started things off with the first fish of the day. Then Matt got his first Florida Bass from the Everglade’s.
What a Fight
Matt needed a little help from Dad, Chuck holding up his Bass.
Within an hour young Matt set the hook on his trophy a nice 21-1/4 ” by 14 -1/2 ” Bass. This will earn him a certificate from the State of Florida for catching one over 5 LB. By 11:00 AM it was so hot, so we called it a day around noon, and headed to the swimming pool.
The real Family Angler, Amy was left behind taking care of the youngest, 4 year old Grace.
4.5 LB. Peacock Bass
All the bass today were caught on Shiner’s and released for the Next Angler to catch.

The South Florida action has been steady, in the hotter weather. My peacock Bass trip have been averaging between 12- 25. On the other hand the Largemouth Bass in the Everglades has been higher in numbers. Your average day on the water is around 50 with an occasional larger one in the 5-7 LB. range.
First from New Jersey was Paul Zara and his fishing buddy. On there day of fishing for Peacock Bass they totaled at 23 the biggest being 3- 3/4 LB.
Then I was very impressed to have Jim Mc Connell Florida and his two lovely daughters . The girls left their Husbands & Children home as they went with dear old Dad on their traditional Fishing Trip. The Trio have been Hunting Fishing together ever since they were young, “I think this is great”. They had spent 3 days on the water , first they peacock bass fished and then hit the Largemouth on the next two days.
The Bass have been hitting real good on Gambler Ace and Large 10- 12″ worms on the bottom.
Then finishing up the week was Harry Beerridge and his Son from Virginia having a great day catching up to 25 peacock Bass.
The thing about South Florida fishing it is good all year round.
