This style of fishing is done out of comfortable bay style boats, preferred for three person parties, but some Captains will accept four. For the skilled sportsman, artificial and fly trips are the area finest test of fishing skill. Both considered sight fishing trips, with a two-person max, this can be a great way to experience the shallow water thrill of flats fishing.

Backcountry Fishing
Back country fishing allows the angler to fish in the serene waters surrounding the flats and mangrove channels of Palm Islands area sanctuaries.

Your trip starts in a modern boat, specially built for shallow back country fishing. These boats are are fully equipped to ensure you enjoy a successful fishing adventure. Each boat can accommodate from up to three guests.

Quietly approach the fish, precisely place your cast, and masterfully play the fish as it runs over the flats. Try your hand at landing your trophy fish – truly a memory to last a lifetime!
