Backcountry
Fishing
- A backcountry fishing trip offers an amazing
opportunity to see the wilderness of the Florida
Keys. A backcountry adventure is a true getaway
as you leave inhabited areas for untouched mangrove
shorelines. While the term backcountry fishing
often encompasses any fishing with a backcountry
guide, including flats fishing, true backcountry
fishing is venturing north of the Florida Keys,
into these often inaccessible and untouched
lands. Read

Flats Fishing
- When seeking to catch redfish, bonefish,
or snook, flats fishing is the way to go. Fishing
on the shallow flats of Florida provides the
perfect chance to reel in some of these unique
species. Ideally, flats provide the best areas
for fly fishing. During an outing on one of
the many flats in Florida, anglers will come
across an array of fish found only in these
waters. Flats are found in bays and marshes
and are stretches of flat sandy areas next to
the deeper waters of the Atlantic. Many times,
these flats are made of grass, rock, and gravel.
Some flats, especially those within marshes,
are composed of grass and vegetation. It is
here that anglers have a great opportunity to
find shrimp and crabs. The most commonly sought
after fish for anglers fishing on the flats
are seatrout, tarpon, permit, bluefish, striped
bass, and shark. Read

Fish Florida Bay
- The Florida Bay is an inner-shelf
lagoon: a shallow body of water situated along
the southern-most tip of the Florida Peninsula.
The Florida Bay is bordered by the Gulf of Mexico
and the Florida Keys; to the west of the Florida
Bay one will find the Gulf and to the south
and east regions of the Florida Bay one will
find the Keys. The Florida Bay consists of a
combination of waters – salt water steaming
from the Gulf of Mexico is mixed with the everglade’s
fresh water, creating an estuary that flows
between and around several hundred mangrove-islands.
Nestled between the Florida Keys and Florida’s
mainland, the Florida Bay has a plethora of
interconnected basins and each basin, on average,
is three feet deep. At its greatest depth, the
Florida Bay is nine feet deep. The shallow waters
of the Florida Bay make for some incredible
fishing opportunities.
