When people visit the Florida everglades for the first time, their initial thought might be nothing but swampland. But the fact is the Florida Everglades is one of the most jaw dropping wildlife scenery, and to most bass fishermen that have been there, is there favorite place to fish for bass.
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.
Because of the size of the everglades, and the amount of alligators that populates it, a bass guide might be a good suggestion for the first time visiting angler. There are thousands of miles of canals and over a million acres of land, that would take a lifetime to find the hottest bass holes.
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.
When you are on the water, even the novice fisher will find that casting a line generally results in hits not just from trophy size largemouth but from feisty peacock bass as well. Largemouth bass over fifteen inches long and weighing in at more than five pounds are not uncommon in Everglade waters. Anglers who like a good fight will get it from the largemouths smaller but hard scrabble peacock cousin.
At the park of the Florida Everglades, they encourage strongly that you practice the catch and release method for bass. You can take some home, maybe hang a couple of largemouth bass on your wall, but do not keep more than needed and help preserve the United States largest wildlife park.
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.
