The Florida Everglades Still catching the Big Gals

In the past week we have been hitting the Glades in search for some big Bass, “well we found some”.
Even with this hot weather blue bird skies, sunny and no wind days, we can still catch bass in Florida.
First I went out with a friend of mine Steve and in 4 hours caught over 30 bass on Top water and large snakes as you can see. Once the sun came up we had to go deep in the center of the canal to catch them.

Next I spent two day with a 14 year old Jersey boy, John Hayes. I’ll tell you he could out fish several adults I’ve been out with through the years.
John listened to everything I had to say and was excellent in his casting.
The first day was a bit slow , but managed to put a few in the boat including this “HAWG”

Now day two same weather conditions , but much better John caught over 20 bass himself including these bigger ones , and we won’t talk about the one that got away.

Then I finished the week off with Steven Bromley from Texas, also catching around 20 bass with a couple of nice 4 lb.  Bass.

Florida is a year round fishery for both largemouth & Peacock Bass. Our peak season is from Dec- May , especially Jan – March when most everyone wants to get out of the cold. So if your thinking about coming down this winter book your peak date’s now to assure a spot with “The Hawghunter”. Capt. Frank Carbone and Guides 954-325-1115
