Late May fishing charters in Everglades National Park and Biscayne Bay offer some of the most exciting backcountry fishing experiences in South Florida. During a recent four-day Everglades fishing charter, I had the pleasure of guiding Jim from Arkansas on his first-ever trip to this world-renowned fishing destination. Having never caught snook, redfish, spotted sea trout, or tarpon, Jim was eager to experience what makes Everglades National Park fishing charters and Biscayne Bay fishing so legendary.

Jim's inaugural visit to Everglades National Park left him captivated by the pristine wilderness and incredible fishing opportunities that define this UNESCO World Heritage site. Throughout our multi-day Biscayne Bay and Everglades fishing adventure, his enthusiasm never wavered as we targeted the diverse species that make South Florida backcountry fishing charters so popular among serious anglers.

Tarpon Fishing Charters in Everglades National Park
Our Everglades tarpon fishing produced multiple hookups with magnificent 40-50 pound silver kings, the hallmark of any premier Everglades National Park fishing charter. While we successfully landed several of these incredible fish, tarpon fishing remains the ultimate challenge - these powerful fighters are known for their acrobatic jumps and line-breaking runs that test both angler skill and equipment. Everglades National Park tarpon fishing charters during late May provide consistent opportunities to battle these legendary gamefish in their pristine backcountry habitat.

Snook, Redfish, and Trout on Biscayne Bay Fishing Charters
Beyond our tarpon success, our Biscayne Bay fishing charters and Everglades backcountry adventures targeted the famous "inshore slam" species that make South Florida fishing so diverse. I guided Jim to a productive honey hole that produces exceptional results when tidal conditions align perfectly. This secret spot, accessible only through experienced Everglades National Park fishing guides, delivered exactly what we hoped for during our backcountry fishing expedition.

Our Biscayne Bay snook fishing proved incredibly productive, with multiple aggressive strikes from these iconic South Florida gamefish. The redfish action complemented our snook success perfectly, while spotted sea trout rounded out an exceptional day of Everglades and Biscayne Bay fishing. These species represent the core targets for most South Florida inshore fishing charters, and late May conditions create ideal opportunities for multi-species success.

June Fishing Outlook for Everglades and Biscayne Bay Charters
As we transition into June, both Everglades National Park fishing charters and Biscayne Bay fishing expeditions will continue delivering exceptional results despite rising summer temperatures. Experienced Everglades fishing guides know that warming waters actually increase fish activity levels, making gamefish more aggressive and willing to strike various baits and lures.

The diverse baitfish populations in both Everglades National Park and Biscayne Bay waters create competitive feeding situations that benefit charter fishing clients. Snook fishing charters, redfish expeditions, tarpon adventures, and multi-species backcountry trips all benefit from the increased activity levels that characterize June fishing in South Florida.

What an epic week of fishing! This week started the 2025 Golden Fly out of Islamorada! Thinking second time guiding in this amazing event! Such a privilege to have been asked by my client to fish this event two years in a  row! This tournament has some do the best anglers and the best of the best guides in the tarpon fishing industry! We were blessed with amazing weather and great fishing! 

These  days are long grueling days! We started pre fishing and hooked some great fish. We jumped around in the ocean coming across a hundred or so daisy chaining  tarpon here in islamorada! It’s always an amazing sight to see! These can be the hardest fish to get to eat a fly in my opinion but it’s so cool to watch them do their thing! We ran all over the place from middle keys to Everglades city and Everglades national park in search of happy hungry tarpon! 


The bite was incredible! The hardest part was getting the tarpon to stay hooked up on fly! But we had double digits eats everyday day! The most being 26 eats before noon! 


While tarpon fishing we did see a bunch of snook and permit swimming around although not what we are targeting it’s great to see the fishery is alive and happy! 


Will be fishing this coming week and getting ready for the 2025 Don hawley tarpon invitational as well! Stay tuned!

BISCAYNE BAY SUMMER FISHING REPORT
Summer fishing on Biscayne Bay delivers some of the most exciting angling opportunities of the entire year. While many anglers retreat indoors during the warmer months, experienced charter captains know that summer presents unmatched fishing conditions for those willing to embrace the season.

Target Species and Summer Patterns:

Tarpon - Biscayne Bay transforms into tarpon central during summer months. These magnificent silver kings migrate through the bay in large schools, offering world-class sight fishing and heart-stopping aerial displays. The shallow flats and channels provide perfect ambush points where these giants feed on abundant baitfish. Live crabs, pilchards, and mullet produce explosive strikes that create memories lasting a lifetime.

Snook - Summer brings peak snook activity throughout Biscayne Bay's extensive mangrove coastline and structure. These aggressive predators position themselves around docks, bridges, and oyster bars where they ambush unsuspecting prey. The warmer water temperatures increase their metabolism, making them more active feeders and willing to strike both live bait and artificial lures.

Redfish - The shallow grass flats of Biscayne Bay become redfish highways during summer. These copper-colored fighters cruise the shallows in small schools, often with their backs and tails visible above the surface. Sight fishing for tailing redfish represents some of the most exciting shallow water angling available anywhere in South Florida.

Permit - Biscayne Bay's crystal-clear flats attract permit during summer months, offering challenging sight fishing opportunities for these notoriously finicky fish. Their preference for crabs and shrimp makes live bait presentations essential for consistent success.

Bonefish - The "gray ghosts" of the flats become more active during summer, cruising the turtle grass beds and sandy areas in search of crustaceans and small fish. Their exceptional wariness and lightning-fast runs make them a prized catch for experienced anglers.

The bite is getting hotter and hotter! Finally had some break in the wind here in islamorada Florida and Everglades national park! We have been targeting mostly tarpon on our trips in fly and spin tackle! Angeles have been sending these amazing creatures in the air int early morning time and throughout the afternoon! This time fingers I focus on the back country in Everglades national park due to the less pressure on the fish and the ease of getting them to eat! 


However, tarpon have been swimming down the Oceanside in islamorada and throughout the entire Florida keys! These migratory fish can be hard to feed. They are targeted by fly fisherman that want a challenge. The eats have been epic!


Since its tarpon season that means bone  fishing has been fantastic here south Florida through Biscayne   bay and the Florida keys! We did have a little fun event this week out of islamorada and we targeted the back country species such as snook, tarpon, bonefish, permit, trout and redfish! The kids did awesome catching some great fish! 


As we settle into some warmer weather and predictable wind and rain the bite will continue to get better and better! 


Have been on the water non-stop keeping up with the Tarpon and preparing for the Golden Fly one of the 4 largest tarpon  fly fishing events here in islamorada! Looking forward to what the next week has to offer!
