Florida City's backcountry waters feature a mix of environments that make for excellent year-round fishing. The area around Butler Beach is particularly productive, with shallows that warm quickly in morning sun and deeper channels that hold fish during weather changes. Summer evenings offer prime fishing time as the heat of the day subsides, though afternoon thunderstorms are common (as noted in recent trip reports). Ray recommends bringing sun protection, light rain gear, and a camera to document your catches. The backcountry areas provide shelter from stronger winds that might affect open water fishing, making this a reliable option even when weather patterns shift. Water clarity varies seasonally, with spring typically offering the best visibility for sight fishing.
When booking with Ray Shetty, plan for a flexible experience that typically begins in the early morning or late afternoon to take advantage of peak feeding times. The charter provides all tackle, bait, and fishing licenses, though you're welcome to bring preferred personal gear. Wear comfortable clothing that can layer as conditions change, and non-marking shoes suitable for a boat deck. Trips usually run 4-6 hours, giving ample time to try different techniques and locations. Ray welcomes anglers of all skill levels and is particularly patient with beginners. For the best experience, book at least a few weeks in advance during peak season (spring and fall) when dates fill quickly. Be sure to communicate any specific fishing interests when booking so Ray can plan accordingly.
