Hello and welcome to Florida Keys Shallow Water Flats Fishing. Are you ready to fish the gin clear flats of the Florida Keys? Come on down! I'm an amicable and patient  guide who will work hard to make your day on the water a success. I have lived and fished in the Keys for over 30 years and have been guiding fisherman just like you on the flats of the Florida Keys for over 20 of those years.

Whether you choose to fish for tailing bonefish and redfish or giant tarpon, I assure you an enjoyable, interesting and exciting day in the Florida Keys. Though I primarily sight fish for these gamefish, we can fish for easier targets as well if your skills are not as high as your expectations. For the novice fisherman, I'll provide friendly fly fishing or light spinning tackle instruction. For the accomplished angler I can help to fine tune your casting skills. Expert? Our game fish should provide quite the thrill and challenge you're looking for.

Please check out the links provided above on this page. Everything to help you plan your trip such as rates, equipment needs and accommodations is included. Multiple boats/captains can be arranged for larger groups as well. Please read on and contact me for an unforgettable trip. I look forward to fishing with you... Capt. Barry Hoffman
