Update: 7/5/10 - NO BP OIL currently in the Keys. We are going out daily and the fishing is great! Come on down and join us for some exciting flats fishing.

 

 

GOOD NEWS! AS of 6/15/2010 there is NO BP OIL to be found in the Keys. Fishing is great! Now is the perfect opportunity to book your charter.

 

Tarpon season basically starts mid-April, May, June, July, and August. May and June are the optimal times for Tarpon. Remember that Tarpon are primarily a nocturnal feeder, so the best times to catch them are very early in the morning or at night. We always book up fast during these times for our Tarpon Charters, so book early.

 

Fishing in the Backcountry and the flats in the waters of Key Largo, Florida is one of the best experiences you will ever have with light tackle fishing.  Captain Mitch Mitchell has been fishing the flats and backcountry waters of Key Largo for his whole life. Not only is Capt. Mitch a Licensed and Insured Master Captain, he is also a licensed Everglades National Park Fishing Guide.  We fish the waters of the Upper Florida Keys, including Tavernier and Islamorada, and up the West Coast of Florida all the way to East Cape. The waters here in the Key Largo Backcountry are filled with some of the best sport fish in the world. Tarpon, bonefish, permit, snook, redfish, and even sharks are just a few of the many fish that make the Key Largo backcountry a destination that every angler should experience.

Captain Mitch is dedicated to bringing you the most fast paced and exciting backcountry fishing in the Upper Keys.  Our fishing trips regularly take you through the Florida Bay, Everglades National Park, Flamingo, and Biscayne Bay.   He, like many other fishing guides likes to promote, what he calls CPR fishing – Catch, Photograph, and Release.  So don’t forget your camera!   While he isn’t against keeping a fish now and then, he also respects and understands the natural ecology of the waters in which he frequents. 

 

The waters and areas where he will take you fishing are filled with many different types of wildlife. It’s not unusual to see bald eagles, brown and white pelicans, osprey, and spoonbills. In addition to the fish that you will catch you might even get lucky enough to see or even have some dolphins swim by the boat and maybe even a see a saltwater crocodile or manatee.  Again, don’t forget your camera!

If you want a fishing guide that can make your backcountry fishing charter one to remember than Capt. Mitch is the one to call.
