Flats Boats and Professional Guides, the Perfect Florida Bay Combination!

Guides and Flats Boats
Your Key to Fly Fishing the Back-Country!

Unless you are accomplished at boat handling, tide tables, and navigation, it is also the safest way to go.

The Florida Bay is "One Big Puddle" and requires some knowledge and experience to handle it safely (both for you and the marine and mammal environment). If you are a novice boatman, it would be a good idea to get some experience with a pro before you venture out on your own.

By fishing with an experienced guide, you will have an opportunity to catch a variety of sport fish including red fish, snook, bone fish, tarpon, permit, and a batch of others. Chances are you will have a shot at a shark or two also!


We Believe it Would be Worth Your Time to Check Out the Following Captains!!

Captain Barry Hoffman has been guiding the Florida Keys back-country for over 20 years and brings a ton of experience and knowledge to the table. He is also an excellent instructor with unlimited patience. We gladly recommend Barry to beginners as well as experts alike!

Speak with any accomplished fly fisherman", and you will probably find out it's the only way he goes. Fly rods, flats boats, tailing bonefish, crazy charlies, more flats boats, more tailing bonefish, it's all he dreams about!

If you have stalked the flats, you know what I mean, and if you haven't, try it. You'll be having the same dreams!
