Anyone ever fish the A-1 Flow Equalization Basin (FEB)? Heading there tomorrow morning for the first time before they close for construction. Looking for some advice on some locations I should target there and any other advice anyone might have. I was told to rip swimbaits through the grass.

Nice! I fished last weekend there and had absolutely no luck. Where in the glades were you fishing?

Got it...the cuts feeds the canals from the flats. I'll definitely mark way points into the flats, sounds like my first couple of times I'll need to stay in visual range of the cut or canal in the flats. I won't get to froggy.

Thanks for the feedback. Trying to make sure I understand you correctly. Do I have this image labeled correctly with the cuts and flats? I'm not exactly sure what a cut and a flat is. I'm guessing a flat is a large area where shallow water exist and a cut is water that feeds into the flat. Is that correct? Appreciate the help.

Hey partner, I'm just starting to learn to fish the WCA's. With all the rain we've had (and going to have), how does this affect the fishing when the water rises? I'm trying to understand where I should be targeting fish as the water rises. Is the marsh access areas a good area to taget when the waters are high? Any other areas anyone suggests?

I'm dying to go fishing this weekend, but it's suppose to rain the entire weekend in South Florida. I understand not going out when it's pouring rain but, how are the fishing conditions during moderate showers and light rain? What type of bait do you use in the rain?

Gotcha, so how do I know what the average is for that specific location to be able to determine if the water level is high or low?

This is great, thanks for the resources. What does the upstream, downstream, and flow indicate?

Thanks, are there any hazards I should be concerned with going in the canals my first time with my boat?

What is the best website to determine the water levels in the Everglades canals? Reading the data from this site is Greek to me (example attached). https://www.sfwmd.gov/science-data/levels

I have a 19ft mako skiff, will I be able to get my boat into the Everglades canals?
