Florida Keys Flats Fishing

Florida Keys Backcountry Fishing Guides

Come armed with your own gear or let Key West fly fishing guides provide everything you could possibly want for a big day on the water: custom-designed flies, light tackle, waders, stripping baskets, fly rods, spin fishing rods and reels, and more.  So just call us or fill out the quote form. If you want, give us an idea of your experience level and gear requirements, choose between half-day or full-day charters. We’ll have your fishing trip already and waiting when you arrive.

Flats fishing charters leave mornings and afternoons from a variety of locations around Key West and the Lower Keys. Armed with the day’s fishing report, your guide will either pick you up or meet you at the boat. Key West Charter Boat will make all the arrangements for an unforgettable day of backcountry fishing.

   Fishing in Key West takes full-time professional guides with good instincts and even better vision. Not all bones are tailing in plain sight. When sight fishing, sometimes all you’ll see is the hint of a shadow cruising the sandy bottom or a ripple on the surface that’s so slight it could go unnoticed by less experienced guides.

Flats fishing in key requires patience and stealth. With a whisper, your guide calls out where to cast, “Two o’clock, sixty feet…”. An eight-pound bonefish can strip a hundred yards of line off your reel in seconds.

Key West Flats Fishing Guides

So if you hire a guide (fishing with capt is highly recommend) listen to him. His experience is invaluable. The bonefish in these waters is an uncooperative breed of their own. A permit can be even harder to find and harder yet to land. If that big, flat body suddenly turns sideways on a dead run, even the strongest leader could snap if your drag is set too tight.

Key West tarpon, on the other hand, provides the most spectacular display of aerial gymnastics. That is if you know how to set the hook. Guides recommend a minimum of six hard yanks on the rod to penetrate a tarpon’s boney mouth.

Take advantage of their Key West flats fishing experience and local knowledge and you could go home with Grand Slam bragging rights. Ignore them and let’s just say you won’t be the first angler who could leave here with a “one that got away” story. Fishing the flats of Key West is as challenging as it is exciting.

Fishing Of Wide Variety

Key West flats fishing is just the beginning. Try your hand at reef fishing and you’ll expand your quarry to amberjack, barracuda, snapper, cobia, Mahi, shark and a dozen other species. Shallow water fishing in the lower keys offers some of the best angling in the world. So if you have a passion for fishing, give us a call or fill out the quote form to get started. Bring a friend or book a group trip. We can put you on a flats boat for two anglers, a bay boat for six, or dream catcher charters for up to 10. The fishing is always great in Key West Florida.

Flats fishing was one of the most unique experiences I’ve ever had!  Our local native Captain helped us stalk and land some of the worlds most elusive fish.  Incredible!

Loved our fly fishing trip down to Key West!  Site casting and targeting fishing was a very rewarding experience.
