Local Tips & Conditions
The backcountry waters around Florida City offer some of the most consistent shark fishing in the region. For the best results, plan your trip during incoming tides when sharks actively feed in shallower waters. Summer months generally produce more shark activity, though these predators can be targeted year-round. Weather conditions significantly impact fishing success—partly cloudy days like on our trip create ideal visibility without excessive heat. Butler Beach and surrounding areas provide protected waters that remain fishable even when offshore conditions deteriorate. Pack light-colored, breathable clothing, polarized sunglasses, and sun protection as Florida's sun can be intense, even on cloudy days. These trips are particularly suitable for anglers looking to learn multiple techniques in a single outing, as Ray specializes in fly fishing, spin casting, and bait fishing approaches depending on conditions and your preferences.
Plan Your Fishing Day
Your backcountry fishing adventure begins at a convenient Florida City marina, typically with an early morning departure (around 7:00 AM) to catch the best bite. The trip includes a stable, shallow-draft boat perfectly suited for navigating the backcountry waters around Butler Beach. All necessary fishing equipment is provided, including quality rods, reels, and terminal tackle specifically selected for shark fishing. Ray welcomes anglers of all skill levels—beginners receive patient instruction while experienced anglers can refine their technique with expert guidance. Comfortable boat shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and personal items like sunscreen, snacks, and drinks are recommended. Photography is encouraged, so bring your camera to document your catches before the careful catch-and-release of these magnificent predators. Most trips conclude by early afternoon, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the rest of your day in Florida City.
