About this experience
I specialize in fishing the No-Motor-Zones within Everglades National Park. I use my skiff as a mothership and launch my canoe off of that. This offers visitors a chance to sneak up on fish in shallow water because of the quietness of the canoe and also offers an experience that is unique from most other fishing charters. Unlike deep sea fishing there is hardly any rough water...I've never had anyone get seasick and there is much more to look at. While not catching fish we might see manatees, spoonbills, crocodiles, eagles, Herons, white pelicans, raccoons, deer, and otters. I don't only fish the no-motor-zones. I run my skiff up the rivers and out into the gulf on certain days and am successful doing that as well. My trips are generally tailored to the specific requests and desires of my clients so feel free to reach out and ask questions and talk about fishing so I can make sure you have a trip of a lifetime.

Itinerary and highlights
From the meeting point you will follow me down into the park all the way to Flamingo Marina where we will launch. It's about a 45 min drive in from the park entrance. From there we will either put in on the backcountry side or on the Florida bay side and hunt for snook, redfish, tarpon and whatever else happens to be around that time of year. Other sought after species include triple tail, mangrove snapper, Goliath grouper, Mackerel, Sharks, and Jacks.
