Italian owner Mario has stamped his personality on this small, stylish and homely posada in Gran Roque. Friendly and intimate, this is a great option for the fisherman travelling with a spouse/loved ones. They’ll be well looked after while you wade the flats in search of bonefish.
Not a dedicated fishing lodge, but this excellent posada is the choice of many visiting angler and is well used to both fishing and non-fishing guests. With 11 rooms, a renowned restaurant and laid-back island feel, this is a perfect place to unwind after a long day on the flats hunting bonefish.
This small operation on Gran Roque caters for up to 10 guests at a time. Enthusiastic and dedicated guides specialise in flats fishing for bonefish, permit and tarpon, with plenty of other species also available.
A chain of roughly 1,700 islands stretching for 113 miles from Miami to Key West and quite simply a fisherman’s paradise. What makes this place so special is not just the consistently excellent sport, or the stunning backdrop (thought that all helps, certainly) but the sheer variety.
Heading to the Upper Keys puts you within easy range of the Everglades and sport from snook, tarpon and redfish, head a little further south and you’re in Islamorada where a mixture of red-hot deep-sea fishing and incredible backcountry fishing have helped earn this place the tag of “sportfishing capital of the world”. That trend continues down into the Lower Keys and Marquesas, where the tarpon is royalty, permit are worshipped and bonefish grow to incredible sizes. And if you fancy something a little laid-back, party boats and split charter reef-fishing options abound in Key West. Get in the car, head down Route 1, stop anywhere you like and start fishing – you can’t go wrong.
