Key West Flats Fishing Charters

   

   Key West flats and backcountry waters offer some of the most exciting flats fishing in the world.  The Key West flats are part of the famous Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge, this 100 mile stretch of mangrove islands and shallow flats, splitting the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico is home to the most elusive sport fish in all of angling.  The famous Flats Grand Slam trio of tarpon, permit and bonefish roam these waters waiting to test anglers and their gear to the limit.  This is shallow water sight fishing at its finest.

 

 

Along with the famous Grand Slam species, the Key West waters are home to many other species including sharks, barracuda, jacks, redfish, and cobia. Above the waterline this area is also home to countless ospreys, pelicans, egrets, and even a few nesting bald eagles. Many other birds of prey make stops here during their winter migrations. Dolphins, manatee, and sea turtles are also common sights as we quietly push along these silent shallow waters .

 


    

   Fish Key West on top of the line flats skiffs designed to float in inches of water and get you to your fishing destination quickly and comfortably.  We use only the finest saltwater fly fishing and spin fishing tackle manufactured.

Fish the flats for a half, three quarter or full day charter as well as split trips and night trips during tarpon season – February through July. 

 

    I do not run flats charters myself.  I always refer flats fishing trips to 3 of my friends that are excellent flats guides.  These guides always do a great job, own and run there own business and are hard core flats fishing guides.  

  I built this page for these 3 guides.  I do not take any commission...just refer the flats trips to them and they do the same for me.  Contact them direct for more info and prices.  I have their contact info listed below in no particular order.  They are all good and I know they will take care of my customers.
