Florida Everglades – Bass Fishing Paradise
 |
The majority of anglers agree that bass fishing in the Everglades is a unique and captivating experience. Many people visit this unique environment expecting the stereotypical swamplands of old black and white movies; what they find is one of the countrys most amazing natural formations.
The Florida Everglades is home to a few handfuls of endangered species, along with over 1,000 species of fish, and many landforms that you will not see anywhere else. Not only that, the Florida Everglades is home to some of the most lively largemouth bass anywhere, one of the reasons the Everglades is preferred by a bass angler.
If you are planning a bass fishing trip to the everglades and have never been before, it might be wise to get a guide. You have to realize that the Everglades is over 1 million acres, and about 2,500 miles of canals.
Another good reason that you should get a guide is you will not have to purchase a fishing license, which can be expensive if you are not from Florida. The guide may be a bit pricey, but you will have a much better chance of landing a largemouth with someone who has been riding up and down the canals of the everglades for a lot longer than you have.
The expert Florida everglades fisherman will be able to cast and hook up with a 10 pound plus largemouth bass often. Not only are the waters of the Everglades filled up with largemouth bass, but are also home to a great variety of peacock bass at the same time, they do not get as big as the largemouth but they will put up a good fight for their size.
Although the park robustly encourages catch and release an enthusiastic angler wont go home without a memento of the visit. Remember all a taxidermist needs to provide a conversation piece wall hanging are the dimensions of the fish and a good picture. Do the Everglades a favor, handle that bass with care and don’t take more than a fair share.
Also be careful of the extreme temperatures which can decrease the pleasure and lower the productivity of any bass fishing in the Everglades. Consider early morning and dusk fishing when the waters are cooler, more oxygenated and livelier. Be sure to dress for a day in the sun fishing: Light weight shorts, vented shirts, billed caps, polarized sunglasses and lots of sunscreen are essential.
