Full Day Sight Fishing Everglades National Park
Tavernier, FL
Private trip guided by GW
Captain GW DePauw III • 30+ years of experience
About
This specialized fishing trip involves seeking and catching fish by casting. It also includes casting to potholes where snook in redfish hide and wait for prey. Proficiency in using a spinning rod or fly rod is highly beneficial for this type of fishing. I am eager to assist novices in enhancing their skills to maximize the enjoyment of this exciting fishing experience. I can provide links to my instructional videos for your reference. Due to the travel time to the fishing areas, a full day is recommended to ensure ample time 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 17.8 Whipray, 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.
