Fishing ChartersInshore Backcountry Charter Packages
Some of the premiere fishing areas in the Florida Keys are on the famous Islamorada flats. Bonefish, tarpon, redfish, snook, permit are the catch-of-the-day here, but expect barracuda, shark and other species to visit too.This is great fishing on light tackle, but you'll need a guide to find the hot-spots and navigate these treacherously shallow waters. Navigating the channels and flats on the shallow bay side of the Keys requires considerable local knowledge.
