A popular spot for freshwater sport fishing – one third of Everglades National Park is covered by water, creating excellent boating and fishing opportunities. Snapper, sea trout, redfish, bass, and bluegill are plentiful. Saltwater fishing includes Florida Bay, Ten Thousand Islands, and elsewhere in the park’s coastal zone.
With thousands of kinds of fish and land forms unlike anywhere else in the United States – the Everglades is probably one of the best fishing spots on the planet. The Everglades consist of mostly fresh water but does contain salt water in some canals. In the salt water sections you’re likely to catch Snook, Tarpon, Redfish, Trout, Grouper, Snapper, Triple Tail, Jacks, Lady Fish, and Sharks – and in the freshwater parts of the Everglades you can catch Peacock Bass, Large Mouth Bass, and Alligator Garr.

Fishing in the Everglades National Park can be good all year round. However the types of fish you catch and style of fishing varies depending on the time of year. Fall and winter is a favored time of year, however spring and summer can be good too and summer time is especially good for early morning sight fishing.
