Backcountry Fishing
Across Tavernier, FL & the Florida Keys
Inshore fishing attracts anglers from all over the world who are looking for the “grand slam” of shallow water fishing as you can target numerous prized species in the Florida Keys! Backcountry fishing is done in the inland waters of the Florida Keys. Flats fishing and backcountry fishing are done in the same place, as the backcountry holds all the flats.
The shallow waters in the Keys are home to plenty of fish feed, such as shrimp and crab, making it a hotspot for larger fish to prey. On one of our backcountry fishing adventures, you will come into contact with prized monster inshore fish that call these waters home or are just passing through. Water depth in the backcountry can range from 0 to 30 feet of water with massive cuts and channels between the shallow flats and also includes the Mangrove Islands. It's all part of the “backcountry.”
At Zoned In Charters, we can't wait to provide you and your friends with an unforgettable journey through the waters of Tavernier, Islamorada, Marathon, Key Largo, FL, and the entire Florida Keys with backcountry fishing.
