Backwater Bliss
he name doesn’t say it all; JM Snooky Kayak Fishing Charters specializes in more than snook. Anglers
fishing out of Tampa or Sarasota, Florida, can chase trophy speckled trout, big redfish, tarpon and even flounder in the backwaters and along the beach. And the snook fishing is excellent during the day or in the lights at night. Tournament angler Jason Stock has been featured on the front page of the biggest fishing mags including Salt Water Sportsman and Kayak Angler. Load the kayaks on his custom built skiff and run deep into the backwater to the land that time forgot.
