fishing in flamingo

[Blue197320]

hey everyone, i will be taking my 20SF to flamingo next weekend (dec 28)for fishing and camping. i know you can only get so far into flamingo without a flats boat. can any one reccomend any good spots out front or in whitewater bay that is accesible with the 20? i am going to be after macks grouper snapper and trout even though i think trout season is closed. thanks !

Hi Blue7320,
Check your PM for some chart sections and GPS #s just out of Flamingo and the lower half of Whitewater Bay. I made these a few years back for Garmin and Navionics cartridge contracts. The the charts are being published and sold by Fishing Hot Spots.

How was the camping trip Blue?

I get my Seacraft to Flamingo once in a while and am always amazed at how skinny I can get it. It just goes to show you how versitile the 20 is.

grove, i didnt end up going because when i went fishing the weekend before the engine was overheating. so it was not fixed in time. so now i am going the second weekend in february. can you also give some pointers on where to go there along with what i got from gillie?? i need all the help i can get down there. havent been in many many years.

Blue,

I'll PM some fishing ideas. Over the years, i've camped at most of the backcountry sites around Flamingo so I'd be happy to offer any advice - let me know.

We may even be down there the same weekend.

Good luck with the engine - you definitely want that to be 100% when exploring the backcountry.

let me know if you want to try to set up a fishing trip down there. my engine is 100% now so any weekend you'd like id be up for going.

I love Flamingo and used to go often but have not been there for a while.

If you need an extra let me know I would love to go
