Capt. Diego guides you on your search for the illusive bonefish, permit, tarpon, or any other flats fish that you may encounter, and makes you feel as comfortable as if you were fishing with an old fishin’ buddy. He is very patient with children and novice anglers, as well as the experienced angler, and will fine tune your fishing technique on how to be an aggressive angler when the opportunity arises.

You will never be yelled at or feel intimidated by a bad cast on your part aboard his vessel. Capt. Diego knows how to make you feel at home, and feels a great amount of pride when his anglers make a connection with a prized flats fish such as the bonefish, permit or tarpon. He is willing to give lessons on spin or fly fishing at the request of the angler, and will spend as much time with you as needed.

There are other species that Captain Diego can introduce you to, depending on the time of year and weather conditions.  In the winter months, many species of fish travel these waters on their migratory trek southward around the southern coast of Florida, then northward along the beautiful Everglades National Park, and up the west coast of Florida.  We come across winter Cobia that travel the shallow flats in search of the same types of crustaceans that bonefish and permit feed upon.  In the edges of some channels you may encounter different species of Jacks, bluefish, trout, pompano, mackerel, and the usual sharks and barracudas that frequent these areas year round.  Some of these species will travel across the flats on high water and can be targeted just like bonefish with very effective hookups when the bait is presented near them.  Weather permitting, Captain Diego will also take anglers bottom fishing to some of his special spots for snapper and grouper and have you catch your own dinner.  He will fillet the fish for you to take to local restaurants to cook for you if you wish.  All this can be experienced without the worry of getting sea sick since it is all done in the beautiful calm, shallow, and pristine water of what we locals call “Our Back Country.

My guests enjoy the challenge of sight casting to elusive bonefish and permit which roam the flats and back country of the Florida Keys. Guests marvel at the explosion that takes place when they set the hook on a 100 pound Tarpon.
