If you're looking for a unique experience the Florida Evergaldes and flamingo this is it. With a canoe strapped to the boat, Capt. Paul is showed us why it's worth the extra effort. As an avid angler, and seasoned guide who knows his fishery, we learned during the day while we got on the fish. It was an early morning at 4 am, but my buddy Greg arrived to scoop me up, and drove us out meet the captain of Legacy Fishing Charters.
The wind stirred up the chop as we ventured out of the channel on an incoming tide towards the eastern edge of the everglades. We headed northwest, and arrive in the midst of terrapin bay and the surrounding area in under an hour where we departed the no motor zone to step back in time, and canoe through some areas that are mostly untouched. Paddling away from the boat, I realized this was just the escape from the noise I had been hoping for.
Serenity is not a word that does this place justice, but it's the best one I have. There's no noise, no sound, just your conversation from your company and the bugs surrounded by mullet flips, flops, swooshes, and stirs. Early in the morning you could hear next to "nothing" which is a strange feeling when you've been in a city for a while.We had a great day paddling the canoe around the backwater bays. We landed a tarpon, 15 snook, a few ladyfish, mangrove snappers, and had lots of action throughout the day pitching paddletails into the mangroves.
Thanks Cap - for being the "reel deal", and showing us a great day on the water.
