Miami has a fish with your name on it, so let Back Bone Charters help you catch it!

These waters are known for Peacock Bass, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are never a bad idea to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Capt. Keith operates a 19' Ocean Bay flats boat with capacity for 3 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It's never a bad idea to bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Back Bone Charters and get hooked!

Capt. Keith was amazing! We had my girlfriend’s son with us, and Capt. Keith took a lot of time to make sure he caught some peacock bass (and 2 largemouths!). Overall a great experience!

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

I spent my childhood alternating between two iconic South Florida landscapes—Biscayne National Park, with its crystal‑clear waters, mangrove‑fringed shorelines, coral keys, and reefs just off the Miami coast, and Everglades National Park, our national treasure of sprawling marshes, sawgrass prairies, and mangrove forests stretching across over 1.5 million acres of subtropical wilderness. I was constantly drawn to Flamingo, tucked into the southern reaches of the park, or heading out onto the Gulf Stream whenever I had the chance. Yet above all else, bonefishing captured my heart—those swift, ghost‑like bonefish stalking the flats became my lifelong passion—South Florida hosts some of the best bonefishing in the world, especially in Biscayne Bay and the Keys. Now, I'm excited to bring you along on a journey—let me show you the full spectrum of what South Florida fishing has to offer, from winding tidal creeks and remote Everglades backcountry to reef‑lined flats and bonefish super‑highways in Biscayne Bay and the Keys.
