Everglades Fishing – Captain Ned Small

It’s breezy, the wind is steady out of the northeast and the nights are cool. The weather has the sleepers, for the most part, hunkered down in deeper water. But there are a few magical exceptions, small concentrations of active fish. We’ve jumped several over the last few days; you really have to stick that hook if you want to keep ‘em on, they’re not bluegills! Smaller fish are beginning to appear among the giants, 40 to 60 pound class, and this usually indicates a new push of migrants arriving. It’s quiet in the Islands, snook season is closed and there are few other boats in the areas we’re fishing.
