Florida Keys & Everglades Fishing Charters: Light Tackle & Fly Fishing

Scannin Shallow Guide Service specializes in light tackle and fly fishing charters in the Florida Keys and Everglades National Park. Captain Jerry Perez, with his extensive fishing experience, offers a variety of techniques to anglers of all skill levels. Step aboard a 17’ Hell’s Bay skiff powered by a 70 HP Yamaha engine, designed for navigating shallow water and accessing secluded fishing grounds. Equipped with top-of-the-line gear such as Penn spinning rods and fly fishing equipment from Nautilus and G. Loomis, your fishing experience is guaranteed to be exceptional.

Join Capt. Jerry during the summer season, which offers the best fishing opportunities for iconic species in Florida. These waters are home to Tarpon, Permit, Bonefish, Snook, Redfish, and more. For those interested in fly fishing, Capt. Jerry's expertise lies in pursuing giant Tarpon, and he welcomes anglers of all levels to master the art of fly fishing while also having the chance to land their first Tarpon on fly. If you prefer spinning, Capt. Jerry can guide you in sight fishing the flats, whether it's casting live shrimp for tailing Bonefish or targeting cruising Permit with crabs.

Scannin Shallow Guide Service provides a fishing license and all necessary gear for your convenience. Capt. Jerry is mobile and available to take you fishing anywhere within the Florida Keys and Islamorada. Prior to your trip, he will contact you to discuss meeting locations or provide information on the best fishing spots. Please note that some species are catch and release only, but if there are legal fish you'd like to keep, Capt. Jerry will be happy to clean and fillet them for you.
