Backcountry flats fishing is a technical style of fishing that generally takes place in water in a depth range of 6 inches to 4 feet. Many times you will see the actual fish before you catch it! It can be a rewarding experience for all ages and fishing skill levels. In some areas you will be traveling in winding creeks just wide enough for the boat to pass through.
While Backcountry Fishing you can expect to encounter all kinds of exotic wildlife that somehow have remained untouched throughout the decades of urban development. Birds, alligators, crocodiles, turtles, and manatees just to name a few.
These photographs were take while filming a recent television show. The Addictive Fishing Television Show with Host Captain Blair Wiggins. Captain Rich Smith was the featured captain for the show. We caught snook in the morning and had tailing Bonefish all afternoon in Biscayne Bay! This is a very typical scenario for fishing in Biscayne Bay. Whether you are a experienced angler or a beginner you should always expect to catch something while backcountry fishing.
