Fishing Flamingo With Captain Benny

If you haven't done this trip and live in Florida, DO IT NOW with Captain Benny Flamingo Fishing Guide Everglades Fishing Charters - Fishing Flamingo

I've wanted to do a flamingo trip for a long time now and Benny just happened to have a cancellation on a day I could get out...

W met him at flamingo marina and we were off. The winds were still kicking up a bit, but Benny muscled through the flats to find us some great strikes.

My friend Scott and I spent the morning casting at red tails, snook, and trout. Scott had the better karma of the day getting big fish on topwater.

I was very impressed with flamingo and the trip in general. The drive was about an hour and 45 minutes from Fort Lauderdale and really easy up the turnpike. Once in the park you have a very scenic ride.

I have been out with many captains over the years and found Captain Benny to be top notch. He provided lunch, drinks, great fishing tackle, along with sharing his knowledge of the area. I can't wait to get out there again!

Go Fishing In Flamingo!

Here are some quick shots I took, although benny took some high quality ones..

Great report Mike. Flamingo is awesome....from the drive down to the fishing and everything in between.

However, it could be even better if they reopen the Lodge.

Regards,

Juani
