    Great time of the year to be fishing in the Florida Keys Backcountry! The boat traffic in the Everglades National Park its minimal therefor putting less pressure on the fish. There are many species to be targeted both in the shallow areas of the park as well as in gulf water. So if you are a begginer angler or have a lifetime of experience in the water there is a great fishing adventure waiting for you in the Florida Keys backcountry.

    Great time of the year to be fishing in the Florida Keys backcountry. This is a transition period when we go in to our winter fishery. With every passing cold front and drop in water temperatures more of the migrating fish will make it to our area. Spanish Mackrel, Cobia and many more will be available providing great action for any type of angler. Take advantage of the great bite going on right now and book your next Florida Keys backcountry fishing or reef fishing charter.

    It's summer time here in the Florida Keys backcountry fishing report. The fishing pressure on the Everglades National Park and surrounding waters is minimal making for some great fishing. Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Snappers, Groupers, Barracudas and many more are all available. We recommend half day charters living the dock early and coming back before noon therefore beating the heat. We can guarantee you will catch plenty of fish and have plenty more for dinner or to bring home. Give us a call so we can make your next Florida Keys backcountry fishing adventure one to remember.
