Bank fishing on Everglades?

[Ravox]

I live so close to Everglades but i feel bad to not know any good spots there to bank fishing, i usually go to community lakes and parks but i wanted to explore Everglades area more

 

Anybody know good spots there?

how about the Holiday Park bank fishing is possible there? Another place that im looking for is Big Cypress Preserve went there with my car on an afternoon and saw some people dishing there from the small bridges on the road

The most well known shore spots are Alligator Alley (I-75 running East-West on the North end) and Tamiami trail (US 41 running East-West on the South end).

 

For both locations just pull over anywhere you feel safe parking and start fishing.  Keep an eye out for gators and snakes when you walk towards the water.

 

I've never fished the Alley, but it is just largemouth and oscars from what I understand.

 

Tamiami while in Miami is almost only exotics with a chance at snook and the occasional largemouth. Once you get out of town and into the Everglades, you start catching more bass than exotics in my experience.  I've never fished further than about 20 miles West of Miami, but from what I've always read the further west you go, the saltier it becomes.  On the Naples side, the canal is predominantly snook, tarpon, and jack.

 

As far as how to fish the Tamiami, in Miami just pull over next to each bridge or culvert and work a jerkbait as fast as you can by hard cover.  You'll know within 10 casts if there are any peacocks or oscars.  If you aren't being bit or followed, move on.  Once in the Everglades, the canal is grassy and I'd recommend a fluke, senko, or weedless swimbait.  Targeting the grass is where you'll find bass, rocks or wood mixed in may hold peacocks.  Like I said earlier, I've never fished the naples side, but an x-rap around the bridges for snook is pretty standard practice from what I've read.

Any place where you can cast from the bank is good fishing in the Everglades. The closer you get to the coast, the more salt water fish you will encounter.  That's not a bad thing as snook and tarpon are larger than bass and will readily hit an artificial bait.  If you can cast to the other side of the canal, it's a plus.  The water in those canals is generally clear.  Top water lures and Rapalas are deadly.   Watch out for critters.

If your walking those banks out there, don't walk through grass you can't see through all around you.  I would at least wear good leather boots and be aware of your surroundings.  I have seen many snakes over the years while bank fishing.  Some harmless and some poisonous.  The gators are usually more scared of you unless they have been feed.  Don't ever wade!
