As your seasoned Florida Keys flats backcountry fishing guide, I know upper Florida Keys fishing is good all year ’round, but there are certain months to target certain species when it is a bit better and it is my job to know what we should be fishing for at any time of the year for the most productive results. IDEALLY, you would consider:
Bonefish: March – June or October – December
Redfish: All year ’round
Permit: June – October
Trout: All year ’round
Snook: March – December
Tarpon: March – July (most concentrated 3-15 thru 6-15)
Whether you are an experienced or novice angler, fly, spin or bait, as a professional Florida Keys flats backcountry fishing guide I will ensure an atmosphere of safety, fun and excitement. For those fly aficionados, I am an expert fly angler and fly tier and use the best fly tackle available. I teach fly casting and can assist clients to improve their skills and techniques.
