Flamingo offers some of the best backcountry fishing in the world. I target Snook, and Tarpon but also like chasing redfish and other species. In the Everglades I use a variety of bait and artificials depending on conditions. There is so much to do that one day isn’t enough to see it all. Send me an email and we can set up a phone call to talk fishing and see what would make your day/days something you will enjoy and never forget.
HALF DAYS Begin at 6:30am and end around 12:00pm. That sounds like a long time but it goes by fast! There simply isn’t enough time in the day. Mostly because at certain times of year the runs to get to the fishing grounds can be over an hour. These trips offer a small taste of what the Everglades has to offer. Every day is different, with some beginning slow and others with an explosion of fish right from the get go. I normally encourage all my clients to book full-days rather than half-days for the fullest experience possible. Flamingo is remote and with all the time it takes to get down there it makes sense to try and maximize the time spent on the water.
FULL DAYS During a full day we will explore some of the far reaches of the park without being pressed for time. The benefits of booking a full day include longer times spent catching fish, fishing less pressured waters, and a more relaxed itinerary.
NO-MOTOR-ZONE FULL DAYS These trips generally produce the most fish compared to any other trip. If you are interested in fly fishing for Snook, Tarpon, or Redfish this is generally the best trip to guarantee success.

WHERE WE’LL LAUNCH
Flamingo in Everglades National Park
Flamingo is the southernmost marina in the continental United States. It’s also the headquarters of Florida’s Everglades National Park and very remote; there are no other outposts 50 miles in any direction. You’ll want to fill up on gas before venturing down. Flamingo is remote so your cellphone may not work once you’re down there. There is still service at the park entrance however. At the marina there are bathrooms, campgrounds, and a small general store.
