About Your Trip
Get ready to explore the shallow, fish-filled waters of South Florida with Captain Jose—your go-to guide for light tackle inshore and backcountry fishing adventures. Whether you're casting across the crystal-clear flats of Biscayne Bay, exploring the wild backcountry of Flamingo in Everglades National Park, or chasing fish in the scenic upper Florida Keys, Captain Jose is here to make sure your day on the water is nothing short of incredible.
Specializing in flats and backcountry
fishing, Captain Jose brings patience, skill, and local expertise to every trip. No matter your age or experience level, he’s all about creating a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere while helping you hook into some of Florida’s most iconic inshore species. His focus? Making sure you’re having fun and getting plenty of action.
These shallow waters are home to a wide variety of prized gamefish. On any given day, you could be stalking Bonefish tailing on the flats, spotting Permit cruising in the shallows, or sight-casting to rolling Tarpon. You might also tangle with Snook, Redfish, Black Drum, Sea Trout, Snapper, Jacks, Barracuda, or even the occasional Shark. The flats and backcountry are alive with opportunity—and Captain Jose knows how to put you in the right spot at the right time.
Flats fishing is a unique and challenging experience that combines stealth, precision, and timing. With the ever-changing tides, shifting winds, and picky fish, it takes the right mix of skill and local knowledge to succeed. Luckily, Captain Jose has both in spades. He’ll dial in your presentation, help you read the water, and make sure your tackle and techniques are spot-on so you can focus on enjoying the action and soaking in the natural beauty all around you.
You’ll be fishing aboard a well-equipped light tackle skiff that’s built to quietly navigate the skinny waters of the flats and backcountry. It’s the perfect platform for sight fishing and getting up close to your target species. All rods, reels, and tackle are provided, and everything is rigged and ready when you step on board. Just bring your snacks, drinks, sun protection, and a camera—you’re going to want to remember this trip.
Whether you’re chasing your first Bonefish or looking to complete a Grand Slam, Captain Jose will guide you every step of the way. With stunning scenery, an abundance of fish, and a knowledgeable, friendly captain, this is the kind of South Florida fishing trip you’ll be talking about long after the last cast.
