Everglades City Saltwater Fishing

We had a great day fishing off of a bridge in Everglades City. The Skunk Ape was with us. Went out 3 times in about a week and really killed it. Caught a variety of species: Bull Sharks, Black Tips,Goliath Groupers, Sea Trout, Mangrove Snapper, Redfish, Sheepshead, Snook, Sting Rays, Steelhead Catfish, & Jack Crevalle. Met some great folks along the way who tipped us off to some good pointers.

Are target fish on the last day was Drum (red/black). We decided to use blue crab as bait for Drum since it was the only crustacean we were able to catch live and it was a great success. All other fish were caught on live pilchard or Mullet.

Always Plan/Prepare/Execute and the results will come!
