Florida Keys Kayak Canoe Fishing
Get Back To Nature
See and fish the
Florida Keys the Natural way. On board a Kayak or Canoe. As a
professional Flats Fishing guide for many years I have been in
many places that I just wondered what the fishing would be like
if I could only get over there, looking at a spot that was just
too shallow for my flats skiff to get to or an area in the
Mangroves too tight for my boat. Now we can get to all of it!
Safely and silently with the aid of state of the art Kayaks made
for fishing.
The Florida Keys are
set up unlike anywhere in the world. In some areas one can take
a Kayak and literally disappeared in the nature of it all just
100 yards from the road. Throw a professional fishing guide in
the mix and now you have a fishing adventure you will not
forget..
Guided Kayak Trips
Guided Kayaking trips,
tours and rentals are not new to the Florida Keys. You can find
them anywhere you look. However Guided Kayak fishing charters
are very rare and even more so are guided fishing charters on
Kayaks with Professional Flats fishing guides that really know
their way to some of the most untouched waters for fishing an
angler could imagine. They also know how to catch the fish that
live there.
Different Types Of
Charters
There are different
types of guided Kayak fishing charters for the Kayaking
enthusiast. There are some that are strategically located for
good fishing grounds that make it possible for them to leave
from shore. Others go out on a boat to a remote destination to
take you to the fish in the backcountry with multiple boats to
let you paddle to your query. Obviously the Power boat taking
you to the grounds to let you Kayak will be your most expensive
yet probably more productive way to go.
Kayak Advantage
It does not take a
professional fishing guide to understand the advantages of a
Kayak fishing an area. First lets look at the draft, only 3
inches, now that really opens up a whole new world of
possibilities for the super skinny water fisherman. Looking at
the propulsion you can see that the Kayak is the most stealthy
way to fish the flats, no noise is Key. Cover more area while
you fish too as there are more than one of you working an area
separately this offers the soloist a wonderful day on the water.
I can think of no better way to sneak up on a tailing permit or
bonefish.
Different Types of
Kayaks
Kayaks and Canoes are
the chosen tools of the trade. The boats that the guides use are
specially outfitted for fishing from them with rod holders drink
holders and places to put some limited tackle. They are very
stable, an advanced Kayaker can actually stand up and fish if
their balance is good. Some Kayaks offer an outrigger for added
stability. Ask your perspective Kayaking Guide what kind of
Boats he has and how his particular operation works, also tell
him if you have any special needs.
