The everglade have miles of mangrove shoreline... hundreds of coves and bays...quiet coastal rivers and back country lakes. There is shallow water everywhere. To some it's sight fishing from the deck of a flats boat. While quietly poling the boat in inches of water in pursuit of visible fish. It's is the sight of sleeping tarpon, tailing reds and lurking snook. For the angler, it's a unique opportunity to fish in one of nature's most idyllic settings. There is mixture of temperate species of plants and animals unique to the Florida Everglades. The Everglades region begins north near Orlando in central Florida, and ends in the Florida Bay at the peninsula's southern tip near the Keys.
The environment here is defined by water. A freshwater river varying fromt inch to several feet in depth, and 50 or more miles wide. This riverbed slopes gradually, it's course creeps seaward for hundreds of miles. The River of Grass is warmed by the tropical climate.The Everglades is a river of algae that sustains larger life forms such as insects, fish, allagators, mollusks, turtles and snakes.
The lower Everglades may be devided into subunites based on biological and hypographic factors. Two of these subunits are Shark River Slought, the river of grass and Taylor Slought, the center of Florida Bay drainage basin. Rocky Glades is transitional area between these regions. It is characterized by exposed limestone referred to as pinnacle rock. Northwest of Shark Slought is Broad River-Lostmans River Drainage. These areas include; pinelands, hammocks, wet prairies, cypress, thickets and marshes.
Southwest is a low salt marsh and mangrove- dominated area of coastal swamps and lagoons. Monroe County has 98,000 hectares of mangroves. Mangroves are a tropical species.They are saltwater tolerant. Tidal flow can benefit mangroves through nutrient import. They grow best in low-energy environments. These areas do not stress the roots, and allow for a sediment accumulation.
Mangrove classification : Overwash and fringe forest occur along shoreline an inundated by high tides. They are dominated by red mangroves and exposed to open water.
Basin Forest : all three mangrove species are found; Red Mangroves are where tidal influence is the strongest. Dominance to blck and then to white as the tidal influence decreases.
The term "river of grass" is one which you may recognize in association with the Everglades. This is an interpretation of "Pay-ha-okee," a Native American term meaning "grass river" which conservationist Marjory Stoneman Douglas used in her 1947 book The Everglades: River of Grass.

Everglades flats - Florida Bay is home to some of the best saltwater fishing and fly fishing in the world.There are hundreds of species to keep you interested. Bone fish, redfish, snook, and trapon, are some of Everglades premiere gamefish. An Everglades fishing trips offer you the ability to see a wide range of animals, birds and sea life, and at the same time you are fishing.
The Everglades is a diverse fishing area. There are Bays, shallow flats, brackish ponds and mangrove islands. Everglades flats fishing is a great get away. The everglades have many unspoiled locations. This is a placed unlocked by time. Sit back and take in the beauty. Enjoy the moment of this special place.
Snook can be found near shore to inshore or in fresh - brackish water. The colder the water temperatures, the farther inland they will be found.
During the summer breeding period fish in the surf. The best to fish for snook is early in the morning, about 1 hour before sunrise. The best results for fishing will be until about 9:00 or 10:00 AM on an incoming tide. Cast into the white water at the edge of the beach.
In the spring fish where fresh water meets the brackish water. The best time is after a spring rain, on an outgoing tide. These areas are flooded with baitfish. Fish located in these are feeding on the combination of bottom debris. This is plant and animal matter in the current. The predators will be waiting.
Like the tarpon, the snook bites best at night, mornings and evenings.Roseate spoonbills stand like statues in the shallow saltwater flats. Broad-winged hawks circle in a cloudless tropical sky. And yellow-crowned night heron perch on the sulfur-scented mangroves at low tide.
