Backcountry Fishing Charters are run out of our marina at Mile Marker
77.5 on Lower Matecumbe Key. These serene and tranquil charters
are the ultimate in Florida Bay Light Tackle flats and backcountry
fishing. The
Florida Keys leave the bottom of Florida in a southerly direction
and curve around towards the West, creating Florida Bay. It is a beautiful and scenic area for fishing with mainly shallow water (less than five feet). Florida Bay is home to a variety fish -- tarpon, bonefish, trout, redfish, snook, jack crevalle, permit and mangrove snapper, among others. |

"Thanks

captain bios) is a great guide and we had a fantastic time!
Tory caugh a Jack Crevelle, then he caught the Tarpon that got chased
by that hammerhead. Then I caught a Tarpon and then that 7 foot
lemonshark! Best time we had on our vacation! Thank you! -- Tory

We
can provide you with different types of fishing. Our specialty is
fishing the narrow cuts, which serve as pathways through the numerous
small islands and "flats" (shallow areas usually 6-12
inches deep). Fishing in these cuts is usually done with live bait
(shrimp, crabs) on light tackle (8-10-pound test line). |

Upon
arrival to the dock with your catch, your captain will filet your
fish. Most of our local restaurants can cook your catch the same
day! This is a wonderful cap to a good day of fishing. Along with
channel fishing, we also have the capabilities for fly fishing,
bonefish stalking, and tarpon fishing (during season April-August).
Depending on which type of fishing you would like to do, it is wise
to contact us in advance and speak directly with your captain to
confer with him concerning your fishing preferences. All of our
trips are highly individualized to the customer’s desires.
We can accommodate almost any request.
