Backwater Fishing Adventure with Cruises12 and Ray Charters

It was a beautiful day to be out on the water, and I was excited to take Anoosha Shetty on a Cruises12 backwater fishing trip with Ray Charters. February is a sweet spot for this type of fishing, as the waters start to warm up and the fish become more active. Anoosha and I met up at Butler Beach, got the gear loaded, and headed out into the perfect conditions - sunny skies, calm waters, and great visibility.

Though we didn't manage to land any big prize, but we still had a great time out on the water, enjoying the scenery and good company. We tried a variety of techniques, moving around to different spots, working the backwater channels and flats. It's always a thrill to feel that tug on the line, even if the fish don't quite make it all the way into the boat. Anoosha was a fast learner, getting the hang of working the lures and setting the hook. We had some solid follows and blowups, keeping us on our toes and the adrenaline pumping.

Beyond the fishing, it was just a pleasure to be out on the water, taking in the sights and sounds of the Florida backwaters. The tranquil surroundings and gentle rocking of the boat made for a truly relaxing experience. We cruised along, scanning for rolling fish and baitschools, talking fishing and sharing stories. It's those moments away from the hustle and bustle that make these trips so special.

If you're looking to experience the best of Florida's backwater fishing, I'd highly recommend booking a trip with Ray Charters. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting started, our crews know these waters like the back of their hands and will put you on the fish. You never know what might hit the end of your line - Snook, Redfish, Trout, and so many other amazing species swim these flats and channels. Book your adventure today and get ready for a day you won't forget!
