Florida Sportfishing Charters offers inshore flats fishing in Biscayne Bay, Everglades National Park (Flamingo), and North Key Largo from Ocean Reef south to Tavernier oceanside, based in Miami. The captain specializes in sight fishing the shallow flats on spin or fly tackle for Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit, Snook, Redfish, and Trout, with more than 35 years of experience.

In Biscayne Bay, trips target Bonefish on the shallow flats, Permit around flat edges and in large floating schools, and migrating Tarpon cruising the oceanside flats in season. Everglades National Park offers Tarpon fly fishing as a genuine specialty, along with Snook, Redfish, Trout, and Shark across the huge flats of Florida Bay. Guests with some fly fishing experience but who haven’t yet landed a Tarpon can work through on-boat lessons, starting with smaller fish and graduating to larger ones. Shark fishing on fly at Flamingo ENP, and early summer topwater sessions for large Snook and Redfish along mangrove shorelines at daybreak, round out the offerings.

Trips run aboard a brand-new Hells Bay Marquesa powered by a Mercury Pro XS 115, a genuinely capable platform for stalking tailing Permit in Biscayne Bay or rolling big Tarpon in the Everglades, offering a superior ride in tough conditions with the speed to reach fishing grounds quickly. Small groups of up to 3 anglers using light spinning gear (provided) are welcome for non-fly-fishing clients in either Biscayne Bay or Everglades National Park.

For serious anglers looking for a highly specialized, more than 35-year established flats fishing guide targeting the “Grand Slam” of Tarpon, Bonefish, and Permit near Miami, Florida Sportfishing Charters offers an exceptional operation.
