Phenomenal month in Everglades National Park by
Benny Blanco (6/29/2009)
Another great week rounds out a phenomenal month in Everglades National Park... with good numbers of Redfish and Snook on the flats, tons of Trout in every basin and pods of Tarpon cruising shorelines, you can take your pick or target them all!
Florida Bay Fire! by
Steven Tejera (6/17/2009)
Flamingo is on fire! The weather for the past few days has been good with mainly clear skies and not a drop of wind, making for some excellent sightfishing. The Redfish have been up on the flats tailing, sitting, and pushing wakes on the flats all day. The Snook have been sitting in the potholes waiting for a mullet to come by and hammer it. We have also been seeing many laid up Tarpon with some schools cruising down the banks of Florida Bay.
Florida Bay Fishing The Summer Bite - Stay away Horseflies! by
Steven Tejera (6/08/2009)
Summer is here and it's hot. Slick calm mornings, fish pushing wakes, tailing, blowing up bait on a mangrove shoreline and of course those horseflies flying around the cockpit of the boat biting at your ankles and toes when you least expect them to. The fishing has been great this week in Florida bay. Snook, Tarpon, Redfish and Trout have been on the flats, island motes and channel runoffs.
Muddy Mullet - Fishing Is On Fire In Flamingo by
Benny Blanco (5/19/2009)
In Flamingo if you find muddy water you’ll find the fish… hungry fish. Mullet muddied areas provide refuge, camouflage and food for predatory fish like Snook, Redfish, Trout and Tarpon. The great news is the fish that gravitate to those “muds” are there for a single main reason… to eat. While muddy water may mean poor visibility of your bait, it may also mean poor visibility of you and your skiff.
Winds Have Finally Laid Down! by
Benny Blanco (5/11/2009)
What a week! The winds finally laid down, the flats and bites were filled with clean water and it seemed like the fish were everywhere. It was our first week of real Springtime action and it will hopefully continue for weeks to come.
Spring Full Swing! by

The spring bite is here and is only getting better as the days go by. Fishing in the Florida Bay area is on FIRE!
Spring in Flamingo-Oh...Hooked Up! by
Steven Tejera (4/16/2009)
With warmer temps and spring in full swing the fishing is getting hot. Sight fishing for Redfish, Tarpon, Snook, Bonefish, Permit and Seatrout is excellent from now through the summer.
Spring Break Fishing In Flamingo by
Benny Blanco (4/12/2009)
There are few other bonds stronger and longer lasting than that of a Father and Son... while I hope to have something very similar with my three daughters, on occasion I get to experience it first hand with clients and their sons
Everglades Is A Special Place by
Benny Blanco (3/26/2009)
It seems like another continent or planet. It�s a place where a sense of adventure is necessary and where anyone can simply get away from the rest of the world.
Flamingo... A Magical Place by
Benny Blanco (2/04/2009)
I have fished with some important people and certainly some very well known people. Yet, I have never been so honored to share a day with anyone more than the day I shared with author and environmentalist, Peter Matthiessen.
Grand Slamming the Glades by
Benny Blanco (9/08/2008)
The fishing in Flamingo has become increasingly better over the past few years. Flamingo regulars are practicing catch & release more often and awareness of our impact on the Park is unusually high. I, for one, am very grateful of the improvements.
SE Florida Fishing by

Snook fishing in Flamingo has been excellent and should only get better approaching what generally marks the peak of Snook action, the full moon in July.
