With water temperature down from now until March, you can bank on action packed fishing in the Lower Keys flats and back-country. To date, a wide variety of aggressive species have successfully made their way into the calm and shallow water in search of food and warmth. Species such as sea-trout, pompano, red-fish, jacks, mackerel, cobia, snapper, grouper, huge barracuda and sharks can all easily be caught in the picturesque Lower Keys back-country from here on out. A fish count of different species in the high hundreds is common for this time of year. And if you seek something for the dinner table, large mangrove snapper can make it there for you. Capt Luke Kelly of Key Flat Charters offers the best in light tackle and fly-fishing gear in a location where he can guarantee winter fishing action. A custom 18 ft flats boat along with Capt Kelly's native knowledge of the area can easily get you to where the fish are. Key Flat Charters can accommodate up to three anglers at an affordable rate, with great customer service. Check out www.lowerkeysbackcountry.com for more info, thanks for reading.
