Everglades National Park is world-renowned for its phenomenal wildlife and ecological diversity. “The ‘Glades” as they’re known throughout Florida, are a tailor-made niche of so many species of fish: redfish, snook, trout, tarpon, and even largemouth bass, just to name a few. The aquatic wildlife of the Everglades National Park makes for an ideal fishing spot, the kind that people will travel from all over the world to experience. The list of enthralling wildlife doesn’t end at fish though. You can also find alligators, crocodiles, manatees, and hundreds of species of birds all living together in ecological harmony.
Gulf waters feed crystal creeks and baby blue bays, creating the perfect mangrove environment where so many fish and animals choose by instinct make a home. If you’re looking for outdoor fun in southern Florida, skip the boardwalks and amusement parks, because the Everglades have more fun and excitement, and all in one place. Planning a trip to such a wild place may seem daunting, but with an Everglades fishing guide like Brian Helms in your corner, you’ll only have to worry about what to bring for lunch. Captain Brian Helms has been a charter captain since he was seventeen years old, and he’s been exploring, fishing, and working in the waters in and around southern Florida all his life. Based out of Islamorada, Brian can get you to the Everglades for a trip you and your family won’t ever forget.
Traveling to the ‘Glades by boat is an invigorating part of the experience. The forty-five minute ride from Islamorada traverses some of the most breathtaking flats in the world, and you’ll already begin seeing amazing water fowl on your way, like pelicans and blue herons. If you’re lucky, you might even spy a flock of Roseate Spoonbills. Best of all, if you have a fisherman in your party that’s just chomping at the bit to get a line in the water, there are hundreds of channels and flats en route to the Everglades to make a quick stop.
With more and more families getting tired of the same old shopping malls and roller coasters populating their Florida vacations, Everglades fishing charters are booming with popularity, because the potential for fun is limitless, and it’s a great group outing where everyone on board can find something to get excited about, whether it’s the paradise-like scenery, out- of-this-world wildlife, or intense sport fishing. But you wouldn’t want to blindly sink you and your whole family into an Everglades expedition without a guide.
Don’t miss out on the life-changing thrill of an Everglades Charter with Captain Brian Helms. He’s built a business that caters to groups and individuals alike, families, couples, company retreats, you name it—if they want to go, Captain Brian will take them. He’ll even supply the gear, fly or spinning reels, bait, and the wisdom that only a lifetime of fishing these waters can afford.
