Pristine backcountry fishing just 10 miles south. Famous for permit, tarpon, and bonefish in crystal-clear flats and channels.
Big Pine Key and the surrounding Lower Keys offer some of the most pristine and productive backcountry fishing in Florida. The expansive flats, channels, and mangrove islands create the perfect habitat for the most sought-after gamefish in the Keys.
This area is renowned for sight-fishing opportunities in gin-clear water. Target permit around channel edges and flats, chase tarpon through the backcountry, and stalk bonefish on sandy flats. The diverse structure also holds snapper, grouper, and an abundance of other species. The remote nature of many spots means less fishing pressure and more opportunities.
