Captain Doug Lillard

I specialize in guided fishing charters on the flats and back country of south Florida. This type of shallow water flats and back country fishing will get you back to nature in a relaxing environment of the protected waters in Biscayne Bay, Florida bay, Miami, Flamingo, and the Florida keys.

These areas offer some of the finest sight fishing found in the state of Florida. Some of the main species of fish that you will target on a guided flats fishing trip will be Tarpon, Bone fish, Permit, Snook, Red fish, Jacks, Barracuda, and many different species of shark. That all can be caught while fly fishing or on light tackle.

run an 18 foot Hells Bay Marquesa flatsfishing skiff. This boat can pole silently into 8 inches of water, butt still has a very dry, smooth ride. It's constructed of Kevlar and carbon fiber and is the best flats boat on the market today.
