Full Day in Flamingo and Florida Bay
Full Day Trip on April 11, 2026

Had a great day on the water with Capt Michael fishing Flamingo and Florida Bay. He knows these waters inside and out, put us on fish, and was happy to share his knowledge about the area, the species, and the techniques he was using. What really stood out was his patience. He took the time to help us dial things in without ever making us feel rushed or like we were a bother. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and wants his clients to have a good time. Highly recommend booking a trip with him. Would absolutely fish with Capt Michael again.

Michael was great. We started early and he showed me some great spots. We had lots of opportunities and he was very helpful as the day progressed. Definitely recommend for anyone learning about the Glades on the Fly!
