A
passion that won’t quit. Captain Mike
Patterson has been fishing the backcountry of South
Florida for more than 25 years. A native Floridian,
his love of fishing started as a toddler. For him, the
thrill of the catch and all the excitement that goes
along with it never go away. So, it was only logical
that he become a licensed fishing captain and share
his passion with men, women, and children of all ages
and experience levels. Captain Mike is:
Licensed by the United States
Coast Guard
Commercially insured
Licensed by the U.S. Department
of the Interior as an Everglades National Park guide

for those with queasy stomachs:
Backcountry or “Flats” fishing is the kind of
fishing
where no one gets seasick!
