Z, your pictures and posts take me back to another time in my life. 
Grew up fishing the glades, alley and canals back in the late 60’s & early 70’s. 
Those are impressive fish for down there for sure. 
Great work bud. 

 

Thanks man. It's a wild world out there, probably much the same as you remember it. I bet back then 60's 70's it was even more remote! There's a lot more canals and storm water retention areas nowadays.

@Zcoker Awesome stuff man.  I really enjoyed reading through this thread.  I would like to get your input on some areas.  I'm in Miami and will be going to Everglades National Park with my son for some shore fishing.  (I know, not the optimal) but are the areas there such as Pine Glades Lake, Sisal Pond, Ficus Pond, and Sweet Bay Pond worth it?  Or am I better off fishing the "Trail" and up through Loop Rd & Turner River Trail?

 

Again, amazing photos!!!  TY for sharing.

With the water levels going down, any of those various canal systems down there will be loaded with bass, much easier to access with the water lower. imho. Even better if you can find an access road that runs parallel to any of them. There's usually water control stations along the way that are great for bank fishing. Most of those control stations have concrete barriers to stand on, which is much safer for the kids. Or you can always hit Holey Lands Wildlife Management Area further north on US 27. There, you can run the canals for as far as you want with control stations all over the place. Bank fishing is also endless there, wide, wide open!

Everglades going strong with nice fish. Water levels dropping everywhere, hydrilla topping out all over the place but the bite is still on fire day or night….mostly at night lol.

I'm making plans for next spring!

 

If you like fishing, Florida is certainly the place to get a line wet, both fresh and saltwater.
