SoFla Angling Co.

Escape the crowds of Miami and target South Florida’s “Big Three” with SoFla Angling Co. A guide service created by anglers for anglers, this year-round charter service provides fishermen and women of all skill levels with a multitude of opportunities for targeting some of the world’s most exciting and elusive inshore game fish.

Sit back and let yourself be poled through the expansive flats and wild shorelines aboard Captain Jason Fernandez’s boat, an 18’ skiff. This boat was designed specifically for skimming across shallow waters stealthily and in silence, and it offers everything you need for high-level flats fishing. This boat can take up to two guests plus the captain and you will find plenty of room on board to sight fish and perfect your cast.

During your trip, it’s up to you whether you go for a South Florida Inshore Slam of Tarpon, Bonefish, and Permit, or spend the trip targeting a single one of these game fish. Captain Jason will provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to catch these beautiful fish on light tackle or fly, and all bait and lures will be provided at the price of the trip.

Please note SoFla Angling operates with a strict catch and release policy with the goal of maintaining this precious resource and allowing the amazing fishery of South Florida to thrive.

Meet the Captain

Jason Fernandez
Homestead, Florida, United States
Captain Jason Fernandez has been fishing from an early age, and his passion for the sport has only grown as he has got older. Having never been able to stay away from the water and from fishing, he is now living his dream, owning and operating So Fla Angling Co. With experience in all sorts of fishing, from fishing the fresh waterways for Bass, to fast-paced trolling offshore for the ocean's largest and fastest predators, to drift fishing along South Florida's coastline from Miami to the Middle Keys, his focus was drawn to the inshore waters of the Biscayne Bay area in 2012. He has been light tackle and fly fishing in the local waters ever since. Captain Jason enjoys helping other people be successful and he is no stranger to hard work. This is what makes his customers come back time and again.
