A rare chance to fly fish Perdido Key
Most charters in the area focus on conventional tackle. Terrapin is one of the few specializing in saltwater fly fishing on the Gulf Coast, targeting redfish, speckled trout, Spanish mackerel, pompano, jacks and the occasional tarpon in skinny water, quiet bays and hard-to-reach flats.
With expert guidance and quality gear included, Terrapin Charters offers an uncrowded fly fishing experience in one of Florida's most underrated coastal spots. See the trips and prices.
