FLORIDA FISHING

After spending the last 4 years living in West Palm Beach South Florida, I have been fortunate to experience some spectacular fishing, as well as crossing paths with some very passionate and highly skilled guides and captains.  These individuals have a lifetime of experience and wealth of knowledge in all manners of species and locations.  With this in mind, I have decided to put together the ultimate hosted Florida fishing experience in south Florida. These packages and day’s include a combination of fishing with myself and different guides, targeting your desired species and bucket list fish.  With multiple accommodation options and all internal travel organised, all you have to do is simply get here. Single guided days are absolutely available for the local or traveling angler.  Florida has so much to offer, whether going deep into the everglades chasing tarpon, snook, redfish and peacock bass, or targeting some of the most iconic saltwater species like sailfish, Dolphin fish (dorado), sharks and tuna, this state has it all.

Florida offers the travelling and local fisherman a huge diversity of species including some of the most iconic on the planet. It is hosts multiple habitats, from the wild and untouched everglades, to the beautiful blue coastal waters that are inhabited by over 1000 different species of fish. In total, Florida is comprised of more than 7,700 lakes, 10,550 miles of rivers and 2,276 miles of tidal shoreline, so no matter where you are there is always a fishable piece of water close by.

The majority of fish can be caught year round in certain areas, but there are times of the year where the numbers are greater and the catches more prolific. This is due to spawning times, water temperatures and migration.  But no matter when you go, there are always multiple options. Fly fishing and lure fishing is very popular with most species, but live baiting and trolling have their place depending on the species of target.

Even though sailfish can be caught all year round, the peak months run from December through to early April. The best of the fishing coincides with cold fronts when wind comes from the north, this can lead to rough seas so fishing is often subject to conditions in winter.  Dolphin fish (Mahi-mahi), like sail fish, can be caught all year round. In the winter time they are very far and few between, with larger individuals being caught further offshore.  With the warmer water  in spring comes the fish. April see’s larger numbers of fish showing up, with the peak of the fishing being May to September.  The weed lines and patches that appear can be incredible fun, with their own mini ecosystem beneath them.  These weed lines attract all manner of species, and the Dolphin fishing can be spectacular. Kingfish (King Mackerel) like a certain temperature of water which means that they migrate north and south as the conditions change.  They can be caught most months but March through May, and September through November are seen as the better times to target these fish. They can ofter be caught closer to shore when the temperatures drop. Blackfin tuna peak months are April to June with the fish being caught in water up to 200 ft of water.  The bonito (Little Tunny) fishing in the summer months is pretty epic, with huge schools everywhere and fish up to 20lb, they are epic fun on fly rods and light tackle.
