Mike Wilbur
Member since April 2015
Key West, United States
- Background
- Key West has been Mike's home since the early 70s, light tackle,fly fishing and guiding has been my only adult job. I bought my first fiberglass fly rod at Western Auto Hardware when I was 12. Smiling every day at the office, the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Salt Flats of the Lower Florida Keys and Key West. Fishing for the worlds great inshore game fish, Tarpon, Bonefish. Barracudas, Permit, Sharks and Pompano. Instruction in Saltwater FlyFishing, patience for the beginners and experience for Ol' Salts.
- Techniques
- Poling the inshore flats, basin's and backcountry of the Lower Florida Keys, Key West and Marquesas Keys. Sight casting using fly rods and spinning tackle in the gin clear flats. I enjoy teaching Fly Casting or Spinning Rod, mainly artificial Jigs, Lures and Flies. I'm not your guy for sitting in a channel watching a bobber and bait, no chumming. Emphasize catch and release for Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit , Shark Barracuda, Jack’s and Snapper for action / fun on light and ultra light tackle.
