The back country is a wilderness of shallow water and mangrove islands divided by deeper channels which act as highways for the fish to enter and leave the flats. Novice or expert is welcome and the finest quality tackle is furnished, spin or fly. You'll fish in water that may be mere inches deep while scanning the surface for that fin or wake. You'll look for 'muds' as the fish poke their snouts into the bottom in search of crabs and shrimp. Flats fishing is an incredibly exciting method of fishing.
Water birds hunt the shallows while bald eagles and osprey search from above.
Cormorants form huge rafts on the water during the winter mating season. And the flats teem with aquatic life. When that moment comes to cast to your fish, you'll fight back the anxiety in order to make a perfect cast. Upon hookup, the fish will make a lightning fast run for deeper water while your guide keeps you in position and does his best to prevent the fish from spooling your reel. The fight may last more than an hour.
