Experience the natural wonders of the back bays, winding creeks, rivers, and nearshore Keys of Everglades National Park—one of the most unique and untouched fisheries in the world. Here, towering mangroves, quiet flats, and hidden lagoons come together to create an angling paradise rich with wildlife, breathtaking scenery, and nonstop fishing action.

I specialize in true backcountry guiding, navigating the shallow waters and narrow, twisting creeks that define the endless waterways of the Everglades. Whether you’re a first-time angler or a seasoned fisherman, each trip is tailored to your skill level and goals to ensure an unforgettable day on the water. We’ll use a mix of live bait and artificial lures depending on your comfort and experience as we stalk Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Sea Trout, Goliath Grouper, and many other iconic species that call this ecosystem home.

Join me for an adventure that blends exploration, excitement, and the magic of the Everglades. Together, we’ll chase incredible fish, take in stunning views, and create lifelong memories in one of the most extraordinary fisheries on the planet. Your Everglades backcountry journey awaits.

It was a great day out on the water, everything went smoothly and was fun. Caught some fish just not a lot but that’s just fishing.
