Florida Keys And Key
West Flats Fishing
When asked, people find
it hard to form the words to describe a day of flats fishing
here in the Florida Keys. Mot are tangled up in the respect for
the authentic way to fish the Florida Keys.
Some will tell
you of the Stoic Veteran Fishing Guide poling the
flats boat along
with eagle eye vision to spot anything that moves in the
shallows as he pushes along guiding you to the catch of a
lifetime. Throughout the day your respect for your guide grows
as he sees things you don't showing you where to cast and how
far. Sharing with you secrets of how to catch your trophy,
secrets that have been passed down to him by generations of
flats guides before him mixed with his own flair to make it his.
Anglers will also try
and describe the environment and the surroundings of the
beautiful untamed waters of the Florida Keys Backcountry with
the mention of the vast mangrove islands loaded with exotic
birds and marine life, the gin clear waters, clean air and
silence.
Others, well,
they talk about the fishing. As the excitement lights up in
their eyes telling stories of tailing bonefish up on the flats
seemingly unaware of the boat as he casted a shrimp or a fly in
anticipation of the long drag burning fight. Then there was a
permit tailing the flat looking for a crab, Getting closer,
closer then presenting the cast to have the permit inhale it
taking off in an unpredictable fury. Then he will tell of the
schools of tarpon well within reach that ate the fly or crab and
came busting out of the water to crash down into a dead run
after feeling the steel of a hook secure a hold in the fishes
powerful jaw. All within just feet of the boat and well within
site.

fishing trip.. And not out of reach for you to enjoy right here
