Full Day Sight Fishing Everglades National Park
Tavernier, FL
Private trip guided by GW
Captain GW DePauw III • 30+ years of experience
About
This is a specialized trip where we will seek and find fish and cast to the fish. It would also include casting to potholes where snook in redfish hide and wait for prey. Knowledge of how to proficiently use a spinning rod or fly rod well will definitely benefit this type of fishing. I am definitely willing to work with novices to improve their skills to get the maximum fun out of this style of exciting fishing. I can send you links to my instructional videos to assist. Due to running time to get to the fishing areas, a full day is recommended. It also gives you the most time available for different stages of the tide.

Guided by Captain GW DePauw III
Islamorada, Florida • 30+ years of experience
I am a south Florida native and have lived permanently in the Keys since 1994. I began my flats guiding career in March of 1996. I held a private captain job for Tom Davidson, Sr, founder of Bonefish and Tarpon Trust, for 11 years in Ocean Reef Club.
My primary style of fishing is sight fishing for snook and redfish in Everglades National Park, with fly and light tackle spin. I also fish for permit, tarpon and bonefish as well as general back country species.
I guide out of a Hell’s Bay Professional powered by a 70HP Yamaha. It ain’t fast but it sure does go shallow!!!
I am a patient guide that truly enjoys sharing my knowledge and love of the waters I call home.
