Everglades Fishing Charters - Latest report by Capt. Austin Abercrombie

3/26/2025

0 Comments

 
In south Florida we typically find ourselves dealing with windy conditions in March and the first week or two leading into April. Despite challenging conditions, our guided fishing trips are still successfully targeting snook, redfish and tarpon throughout the Everglades National Park. We have also experienced some later cold fronts that we didn't have last year which tend to put a slow down on the tarpon activity, prompting our fishing charters to pivot toward other species like triple tail and cobia which have been quite abundant.

As it warms up the two to three days after the cold front and the wind settles down, sight fishing for snook and redfish become a lot more bearable and the tarpon come alive! Our professional fly fishing guides specialize in these prime windows of opportunity.

In addition to the Everglades being a great option this time of year, Biscayne Bay fishing charters have been nothing short of epic, especially when we're talking bonefish. The lower tides bring in tailing fish, allowing for easier sight fishing opportunities particularly for fly fishing enthusiasts.

The permit are definitely around as well! Throwing live crabs this time of year is recommended for the windier days but the fly fishing opportunities are there also, just need to pick the right day or really hone in on that double haul! Our guided fishing trips can accommodate both conventional and fly fishing approaches depending on conditions.

Everglades National Park & Biscayne Bay Fishing Report: Early Spring 2025 From Captain Austin Abercrombie

Following one of South Florida's most notable winter seasons, the pristine waters of Everglades National Park are delivering exceptional fishing opportunities, particularly for trophy snook. These legendary gamefish are congregating in significant numbers around river mouths, mangrove shorelines, and hidden backcountry creeks, providing anglers with memorable sight-fishing opportunities.

The crystalline waters of Biscayne Bay are currently showcasing why this region remains a premier destination for shallow water sight-fishing. Permit fishing has been nothing short of spectacular, with schools of these elusive gamefish actively feeding on crabs across the flats. Bonefish continue their year-round presence, offering anglers consistent opportunities for pursuing these ghostly speedsters in gin-clear water.

As water temperatures gradually climb, we're witnessing increased redfish activity throughout the park's vast ecosystem. These copper-colored beauties are becoming more aggressive, tailing in shallow water and cruising mangrove shorelines. While we await the primary tarpon migration, juvenile tarpon are providing excellent action in the backcountry, especially during the warmer afternoon hours.

Current conditions have been favorable for fly anglers, with relatively calm morning winds. However, as we progress into March, anticipate more challenging conditions with average winds of 15 knots. These conditions, while demanding, often concentrate fish in protected areas and can actually improve sight-fishing opportunities for skilled anglers.

The upcoming months promise some of the year's most exciting fishing. We're approaching prime time for the legendary tarpon migration, where silver kings from 60 to 150+ pounds will begin their annual journey through our waters. This period also typically brings some of our best permit fishing opportunities in Biscayne Bay.

Whether you're seeking your first bonefish on fly, hoping to scratch permit off your bucket list, or dreaming of battling a trophy snook, now is an excellent time to experience the world-class fishing of Everglades National Park and Biscayne Bay. Contact Captain Austin Abercrombie to reserve your date during this prime fishing season. From technical poling skiff trips for fly anglers to light tackle adventures for families, we customize each charter to create unforgettable fishing memories.
