Fishing
REDFISH, SNOOK,
TROUT, SHARKS and MORE!
|
Backcountry fishing can
produce numerous species of fish. Snook are hard fighting
adversaries that jump and can be difficult to keep out of
the mangrove roots while fishing near shorelines. They are
also found in potholes on the flats and can be sight fished.
Redfishing is a bonefish-style type of fishing where you can
cast to tailing Redfish in shallow water. They tend to be
easier to catch than Bonefish. Average weight can range from
4 to 15 lbs. |

| BACKCOUNTRY NOTES |
Best Times
The best times to fish the backcountry is anytime, that's right each and everyday of the year. Although, Winter time months bring unpredictable weather due to cold fronts. Sea Trout, Redfish and Snook are prime targets in the winter. Spring and summer bring lots of Bonefish, Tarpon and Permit.

FLY FISHING THE BACKCOUNTY
Flippin' the Chicken
 Fly Fishing in
the backcountry is a a lot of fun especially for the novice fly
fisherman. Fly fishing in a mullet mud for sea trout, ladyfish,
jacks and sharks can be very fulfilling. Instant action awaits
you. Fly fishing for redfish and snook is a little bit like
bonefishing. Redfish are a little less spooky and always eager
to take a fly. Snook fishing, is mostly chuckin the fly into
a maze of mangrove roots or pot holes. Also, I do a a lot of
fly fishing for sharks and let me tell you, its one of my
favorite things to do. The power of a 200 lb Bull or Lemon
shark ripping drag is pretty much insane. Once you find the
sharks, getting them to eat a fly isn't that difficult. I seem
to have better success in murky water. No matter which route
you go, fly fishing in the backcountry is a lot of fun. Just
remember if you are planning a trip down here, practice your
casting.

FISHING THE BACKCOUNTRY ON SPINNING TACKLE
Jig, Jig and more jigging.
 The
Spotted Sea Trout is also a plentiful species that can be
caught in the backcountry. Drifting channels and grass flats
can produce large Sea Trout and countless other species of
fish like Tarpon, Jacks, Ladyfish, Sharks and much more. Shark
fishing can be very exciting. Anchoring in channels and shallow
water areas can produce some of the best shallow water shark
fishing. Sight casting to Lemon and Black tip sharks, with
an occasional Hammerhead or Bull shark, in 3 feet of water
can be unbelievable. Backcountry fishing provides non stop
action and is highly recommended for children and anglers
of all ages
