Everglades fishing charter with Captain Lester

Freshwater Charters

Everglades Fishing Charters

When the ocean is rough, the Everglades are calling. Peacock bass, largemouth bass, and unforgettable scenery.

Rough Ocean? Head to the Everglades

When ocean conditions are rough, Fishing With Lester offers freshwater charters in the Florida Everglades. Instead of canceling your trip, Captain Lester and Captain Tristen take you into one of the world's most unique ecosystems for an unforgettable freshwater fishing experience.

What to Expect

The Everglades backcountry is a maze of canals, sawgrass flats, and mangrove-lined waterways teeming with fish. It's a completely different experience from ocean fishing — calm waters, incredible wildlife (alligators, exotic birds, manatees), and aggressive freshwater gamefish.

Whether you're an experienced angler or a first-timer, the Everglades deliver non-stop action. The fish are aggressive, the scenery is stunning, and every trip is a true Florida adventure. It's the perfect alternative when offshore and inshore conditions aren't cooperating.
