We exclusively sight fish in clear and shallow water, over both dark turtle grass and light rocky bottoms.

During the day we move around a lot, fishing different spots among intertwined flats ranging from the bright sandy flats of the Atlantic, to the colorful and secluded backcountry waters of the Gulf. With the two oceans in such close proximity in this area, we take advantage of two different tide cycles and the optimum opportunities of each.

A notable attribute of our fishing program is our flexibility. We fish when the fishing’s best, at whatever time of day. We commonly split up the day, breaking back at the lodge for lunch and some time out of the sun, then return to the water for late afternoon fishing. With the backdrop of a beautiful sunset, our afternoon fishing can be something of a spectacle.

Tarpon - We sight fish for tarpon in shallow water, usually in less than three or four feet. Most often we pole over a light bottom, watch them approach, and present a fly. Our average size tarpon is about 80 lbs., ranging up to more than most anglers want to handle. Occasionally near the mangroves we get into smaller tarpon, less than 40 lbs. They’re great fun at any size. Last but certainly not least, in some areas of the Keys deep water channels produce lots of very large schools of rolling tarpon. Commonly fished in the afternoon, with the backdrop of a beautiful sunset these schools are something of a spectacle.
