Sightfishing on the flats of the Florida Keys is truly aitem1 unique experience. There is abundant life above and below the water. The depth of the water that we fish upon, ranges from eight inches to about five feet deep. Most of the places we fish are calm and protected, so that even on windy days, we can make it an enjoyable  day out. These shallow waters typically remain crystal clear, allowing you to view the world which you're floating upon. The challenging gamefish that inhabit these waters include the bonefish, tarpon, permit and redfish. Sight fishing requires a bit more skill and patience, but can be very exciting as you watch the fish inhale your fly or bait. Sight casting for bonefish, tarpon or permit is angling at it's most demanding form. Although I can usually show you plenty of fish, It is up to you to cast correctly to them. The more proficient you are before you make it down to fish, the better chance you have of hooking and landing your intended target. The most productive fly fisherman have their casting skills honed long before their charter. That way, they can learn to see the fish, learn how to properly strip the fly and set the hook. I will gladly work with you to help with your casting technique. There are other species that we can fish for that are much easier to catch and can keep much busier with IF you're just looking for action. Seatrout, jacks, ladyfish as well as sharks and barracuda provide an easier target for those folks just looking to bend a rod.  It's really an issue of quality vs. quantity of fish caught.  Many birds, rays, and crabs can also be seen as we quietly push across the shallow water.
