Fishing on the shallow flats of Florida provides the perfect chance to reel in some of these unique species. Ideally, flats also provide the best areas for fly fishing.   Backcountry Fishing  While the term backcountry fishing often encompasses any fishing with a backcountry guide, including flats fishing, true backcountry fishing is venturing north of the Florida Keys, into these often inaccessible and untouched lands.   Florida Bay Fishing  The Florida Bay is called the “waterspout capital of the world” and offers nearly 1,000 square miles of exploration: the basins, grass lined mud banks, mangroves, and mangrove islands serve as a habitat for some fantastic marine and wildlife.   Key Largo Fishing  Key Largo is known to be the diving capital of the world, but it should be noted that it is just as famous for being the ideal sport-fishing destination. Located off the southern coast of mainland Florida, the island of Key Largo is a prime location sought out by anglers.

Small live baitfish, just about any jig, gold and silver spoons, and even topwater plugs are potential meals if they are presented correctly. Of these, the topwater plug is an interesting bait to use when fishing the flats because the fish must come to the surface and rollover to get its mouth in position to strike the bait. Redfish can be caught in the backcountry of Florida bay or in the flats of Miami or Florida bay. TroutTrout, "The Comeback Kid"Book A Trout Fishing TripSpotted Sea trout spawn from spring through the summer in the estuaries along both coasts.
