Title: Everglades PSA
Post by: Capt. BassinLou on September 13, 2024, 11:55:38 AM
Hey gang, just wanted to check in and give you guys an assessment of what's happening in the Glades. I have been out several times over the last several weeks. I was out there today, as a matter of fact. Launched before sunrise, and was off the water by 9am. Yes, it's that bad.  ~sweat  ~sweat  Between the heat, humidity, storms, and water discharges, the Glades is VERY tough to fish right now. We are approaching mid-September and the water levels are ridiculous. The only saving grace, I hope, is that our temps begin to come down next month. We have been dealing with these high heat indexes since May!!  :o Solutions. Wait things out, (Not an option for me  lo ) or transition shallow, and focus fishing the flats.

Thanks for reading!

Thank you Lou for the update. Saved me a trip out there. Looks like I may try Lox.

Tough going. It always as amazes me how fickle the glades can get with high water. There's no other fishery out there like it.

It's a unique fishery, no doubt. But when it's swollen with water, it can be a ghost town.
