Beautiful
sunsets, turquoise water, the fresh clean smell of ocean air and
the thrill of battling some of the fastest strongest sportfish in
the world create a sportsman's paradise in the Florida Keys. Fiery
sunsets reflect off the calm waters displaying a brilliance that
could never be imagined. On top the water appears calm, but a savage
world of survival exists underneath. The waters are teeming with
sportfish and other sealife. Calm waters that explode with the fight
of a hooked fish. Fishing in the Florida Keys is an experience of
a lifetime.
The
Florida Bay is approximately 30 square miles of scattered islands
and a shallow water fish haven. It is the section of water between
the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico just off the southern
tip of Florida. This is where the backcountry fisherman resides.
Tarpon, permit, snook, redfish, trout, snapper and a host of other
exciting sportfish are stalked in these waters. The majority of
the water in this area is less than 5 feet deep with maximum depths
generally not exceeding 10 feet. The shallow depths allow light
line anglers and fly fishermen excellent opportunity to offer their
presentation in the "strike zone".
