Let’s Go Fishing!
It’s safe to bring your kids backwater fishing thanks to the calm, shallow inshore waters. There’s a big variety of fish that attracts amateur and experienced anglers to these spots. Most of the time the water is calm, so light bait is used.

What Type of Fish Can We Catch?
You can target trout, redfish, tarpon, flounder, and other backwater species without having to worry about getting the bait and fishing gear. We like to personalize our services to your needs, giving you the option to go fishing for half a day or a full day, whatever works best for you.
Bait and Gear
Light tackle and spinning gear are used during our backwater fishing trips with live and dead bait. Finger mullets, crabs, and live shrimp are some examples of bait that can be used to target the fish in these areas.
