The first of the bay
boats that we got here at Dream Catchers was
purchased in 2005, we named this boat the
"Intuition". It was
a good name as it took some Intuition to see that
people wanted a choice here in Key West to go
flats fishing and
Backcountry fishing.
Now they have it.
It is late summer of
2007 as I write this and we now have 3 bay boats in
our line up. They run every day. People want to take
3 persons on the flats. People want to be
comfortable and not get beaten. My customers want to
catch fish, and catch lots of fish to make it a
great day for them fishing. This is why we have the
Bay Boats.
Our bay boats are 24
ft in length. We can take 1 to 4 persons fishing on
them. One of our boats has a bathroom (ladies love
this). The bay boats are able to get in just as
shallow water as the flats boats with the use of
latest technology in trolling motors from
Lenco and
Motorguide
we are able to sneak up on the same species
of fish with being noticed.
As you read about our
bay boats understand that I am a die hard
flats fishing guide and have been using a
traditional
flats fishing boat
for over 12 years. I love to pole a boat and sneak
up on fish and have my anglers catch it using
fly fishing or spin
gear. I thought the bay boats would be a nice
addition for our lesser experienced customers to
enjoy the day in the backcountry. I had no idea that
I would break every personal flats fishing record I
have established in my career aboard the bay boat.
When I am guiding on
the bay boats I can do more as your guide than on
the flats boat. I can help you spot fish better,
help you with casting. For my
fly fishing clients,
I can help you with line management and fly
placement. I don't have to yell the casting commands
anymore I am right beside you positioning the boat
for your best shot. Equipped with a Power pole I can
keep the boat in position silently while you get
your opportunity.
The versatility of
our bay boats is amazing. We fish everywhere with
them.
The Marquesas keys
are in easy reach now without tempting our fate in a
flats boat. I can also run offshore to the near
shore wrecks and reefs and open up a whole different
fishery for you as my angler. Options are good when
spending that kind of money for your day on the
water. When the weather is windy, no big deal, its
not a
flats boat and we
can still go if you want to.
The bay boat is the
ultimate
Key West tarpon fishing
tool. If a tarpon can go there so can I in a bay
boat. Artificial, Live bait fishing is made so easy.
I fish for them on the flats, in the channels, out
in the backcountry, in
the Marquesas Keys
or anywhere and effectively. With the silent
trolling motors I will hold you in place on a school
that is feeding so you can take your time getting
the bait to them. Great for beginners and super
effective for the experienced.
When
fly fishing for tarpon
anglers that have fished tarpon with me on my
Yellowfin were amazed at how well I could position
them to a school of fish, offering them several if
not "the" shot at catching one on the fly.
if you are 1 or 4
persons, new to flats fishing, or just want to be
comfortable on the water for your day of fishing and
not cramped up in a little flats boat, then Sign up
for a trip on our bay boats. You will be glad you
did. |
