The fishing charter waters of Biscayne Bay, Islamorada, and Everglades National Park are awakening with the warmth of spring, ushering in one of the most anticipated seasons for charter fishing. As the last cold fronts fade away, our fishing charters are witnessing an extraordinary feeding pattern along the coast of Everglades Flamingo and bayside Islamorada, with trophy gamefish becoming increasingly active.

Tarpon season has officially begun, with silver kings making their presence known throughout our waters. Recent charter outings in Flamingo have produced exceptional numbers, whether casting flies or working artificial lures. What makes this charter fishing period particularly special is the simultaneous peak in activity across multiple species. While tarpon command attention on our charters, the bonefish flats are producing epic encounters, and the snook and redfish bite remains consistently strong.

Our Islamorada fishing charters are experiencing legendary bonefish action on the flats. On cloudy days, we're adapting our charter approaches between sight fishing and using select baits like shrimp and crabs, ensuring productive trips regardless of conditions. The fish are responding well to both strategies, providing exciting opportunities for charter clients of all skill levels.

This pre-summer window offers ideal conditions for fishing charters, with comfortable temperatures and predictable wind patterns. While we're anticipating possibly our final weak cold front of the season, even these weather changes are working to our advantage, as the fish maintain their aggressive feeding patterns. The cooler mornings create perfect conditions for extended charter days on the water, particularly in Everglades National Park, where early starts are yielding exceptional results as fish feed actively in the dawn hours.

For those looking to book a charter to check tarpon or bonefish off their bucket list, this period presents some of the year's best opportunities. The consistent feeding patterns and generally favorable conditions make it an ideal time for both novice and experienced anglers to pursue these prestigious gamefish on our charters. While we're not yet in the peak charter season of April through June, booking early is recommended to secure prime dates.

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.
