Islamorada - End of Oct. Flats Trip


Fatherof4

Recommended Posts

Hello All.  Headed to the Ft Lauderdale boat show in Oct, then gonna spend a few days in the Keys.  Probably in the Islamorada-Marathon areas as they are what I am most familiar with.  Want to book a flats trip.  Never fished the flats there.  Familiar with some of the more well known guides.  Will be the very end of Oct.  Would love to go after the Big 3.  Wife will be along.  Would love to fly fish and spin fish.  

I'm a decent fly caster, wife is just beginning.  I know this will subtract from the chance of success, but, want to try anyway, then switch to spin gear.

Based on this...thoughts on a guide?  Never been down there that time of year.....thoughts on what's available then?  Backcountry better option with snook?

suggest you pm forum member Lobbys - he is a charter captain - big boat, but, knows everyone in the region...

Also, send a note to Skip and see what guides are on the Maverick program 

As well, HB has a series of guides on they program....there is also a fly fishing school in Islamorada that I saw on a program that looked really cool.

Enjoy....
