Experience Key West Back Country Fishing
Key West is a sportsman’s paradise. Hundreds of untouched mangrove islands to fish, and hidden channels are inhabited by a huge variety of fish. It’s no wonder our Key West back country fishing charters are among the most popular trips we offer. For calmer waters and almost unlimited territory to fish, the Backcountry, or Gulf side of Key West offers anglers an exciting day of fishing that everyone will enjoy. Just take a look at what you can find in Key West’s back country: Sea trout, Snook, Mangrove snapper, Jack crevalle, Ladyfish, Tarpon, Sharks, Redfish, Bluefish and Spanish mackerel.
Walk Along a Sandbar
Enjoy a dip in our shallow clear waters and a walk along a sandbar. Relax on island time during this low-key backcountry eco tour – enjoy a cold drink and a snack or picnic while you soak up the sand and sun. Ice coolers are onboard, please don’t bring glass.
