Stalking bonefish on the Florida Keys Flats of Islamorada, Florida is one of the ultimate dreams of sportfishermen around the world.
There is little room for error when catching an Islamorada Backcountry Bonefish.
You have to be very precise with your cast, whether bait or fly. Any sudden movement can spook a fish!
Some of the largest bonefish are found in the Islamorada area, the world record on fly was actually held here for many years, right out of Bud N’ Mary’s Marina!
Something you may want to consider if your a serious fishermen and wanting to make sure your Islamorada Flats Fishing experience is like what you’ve dreamed about!
We also catch permit and tarpon on the same flats, and in the backcountry there are snook, redfish, trout, snappers, and more.
With all the Florida Keys has to offer both offshore and inshore, why would you want to go anywhere else???

Great, fun experience. Highly recommend Took my two sons (17 and 21 years) and my brother there. We stayed in the Ocean Front House and went deep sea fishing for one day and backcountry fishing for one day. We had a great time. It was a great experience. It was kind of slow days for fishing but we caught fish and had a fun time. The boat captains did everything they could to put us on the fish 
Fishing Great customer service in the tackleshop. Thank you Laine and Liz you guys are the best!
We tried to stay here and it was booked... but we stopped here on the drive. It was the highlight of the drive! Sharks, tarpon, pelican, great ibis and a manatee!! We just watched the animals for an hour.
