Trip Summary

Winter is filled with great opportunities to catch what we call belly crawlers. The shallow waters of the backcountry warm up faster and fish fill into some really great spots for sightfishing.

In short, winter is a time not to be missed in the backcountry of the Florida keys and Everglades national park!
