Florida City's location provides access to some of Florida's most productive flats fishing waters, particularly around the Everglades region. The shallow water environment creates perfect conditions for sight fishing, where spotting and casting to visible fish adds an exciting visual element to your day. Weather patterns in this area can actually enhance the fishing β those partly cloudy skies mentioned in trip reports often provide ideal conditions by reducing glare on the water while keeping temperatures comfortable. Morning trips typically yield the best results as fish are most active during these hours. Ray specializes in shallow water jigging and wading with lures, techniques perfectly suited to this environment. For comfort, we recommend wearing quick-dry clothing, polarized sunglasses (essential for seeing fish in the water), and sun protection. These trips are suitable for anglers of all skill levels, as Ray adjusts his approach based on your experience.

Our Florida City flats fishing trips utilize specialized shallow-draft boats designed specifically for navigating the skinny waters of South Florida's backcountry and Everglades region. These technical poling skiffs feature elevated casting platforms that provide excellent visibility for spotting fish in clear, shallow water. The boats are equipped with quiet, efficient four-stroke outboards for running between fishing spots, and push poles for silent approach once in the fishing zones. With comfortable seating for up to three anglers plus the guide, there's ample deck space for casting without interference. Each vessel includes a cooler for refreshments and catches, rod holders, and storage for personal items. The boats' shallow draft design allows access to areas as shallow as 6-8 inches of water β putting you right where the fish are holding on the flats that are inaccessible to larger vessels.
