I spent my childhood alternating between two iconic South Florida landscapes—Biscayne National Park, with its crystal‑clear waters, mangrove‑fringed shorelines, coral keys, and reefs just off the Miami coast, and Everglades National Park, our national treasure of sprawling marshes, sawgrass prairies, and mangrove forests stretching across over 1.5 million acres of subtropical wilderness. I was constantly drawn to Flamingo, tucked into the southern reaches of the park, or heading out onto the Gulf Stream whenever I had the chance. Yet above all else, bonefishing captured my heart—those swift, ghost‑like bonefish stalking the flats became my lifelong passion—South Florida hosts some of the best bonefishing in the world, especially in Biscayne Bay and the Keys. Now, I'm excited to bring you along on a journey—let me show you the full spectrum of what South Florida fishing has to offer, from winding tidal creeks and remote Everglades backcountry to reef‑lined flats and bonefish super‑highways in Biscayne Bay and the Keys.

Keith was great and the whole trip was worth it
Six Hour Back Country on October 11, 2025 • 2 adults
Got the 6-hour charter for my wife’s birthday. She had a blast seeing all the beautiful sights of the back country while also catching snook, trout, ladyfish, and jacks. We also saw dolphins, manatees, sharks, and tarpon. We kept four trout and got them made for us at Hog Heaven, after Keith fileted and prepared them for us. Delicious. Keith gave clear instructions and was always amped up and ready to make our experience the best it could be. All in all an amazing day.

Beautiful Day
Half Day Trip – Flats Fishing on January 26, 2026 • 1 adult
4-hr trip fishing in the Everglades National Park. Landed many speckled trout, jacks, and ladyfish. We hooked a tarpon in the 50-lb range, which jumped once and was never to be seen again. And had a smaller fish ambushed by a hungry blacktip. Toss in some wildlife (sea turtles, white pelicans, and about 3 dozen flamingos), and it made for a great day. A big thanks to Captain Kevin.

Good educational experience
Full Day Trip on July 28, 2026 • 2 adults
We wanted to target Snook and Captain Keith put us on some right away. We ended up catching 3 and a series of other fish, including sea trout. We also fished a couple Everglades environments that had really tremendous wildlife (in addition to good fishing). Captain Keith was personable and ensured we had a good time.

Keith is a very personal guide and easy-going. He put us on some giant snook with trout to boot. I will definitely fish with him again and would highly recommend. Thanks again, Keith!
