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.

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.
