Turneffe Flats, Belize, August 15-22, 2009. For an incredible week of flats fishing in an unforgettably gorgeous tropical island location, join Capt. Dexter and his angler friends on this Belize trip August 15-22, 2009. The fishing for tailing Bonefish is incredible, the Permit are plentiful and easier to catch than Florida Keys Permit, and the
Tarpon are also available. Click here to check out a video of Turneffe Flats, Belize!
Here is one of two Permit caught by Captain Dexter on the same day in September, 2008. For information

The Fishing Report. June 26, 2009. All in all, the 2009 Tarpon season will go down as one that was great from April to Mid-May, followed by an outstanding worm hatch, then alot of West Winds and low pressure that made the fishing very challenging indeed. We are looking forward to Grand Slam season this summer!!!
Our Father (Mother) - Son (Daughter) Key West Flats Fishing Trips are now scheduled for throughout the winter,spring, summer and fall.

New Fly Shop in Key West!
This holiday season a new fly shop to Key West! The Angling Company will open its doors in January, and we hope to set a new standard of excellence in our product selection, service, devotion to conservation and a relationship with top local captains like Capt. Dexter Simmons. The website, www.theanglingco.com, is under construction and should be operational by early January.
You can also reach the shop at 305.292.6306 once we open our doors. We will be offering rods by Sage, G. Loomis, Thomas & Thomas, clothing from Under Armour, Simms, and our own signature Angling Co. apparel. In addition to new reels from Tibor, Abel, Van Staal, Henschel and the new Shilton reels from South Africa we will also be offering a huge selection of classic and collectible reels,
including examples of the now-classic Charlton Signature Series. The store, located at 333 Simonton street, will have off-street parking available for any and all of you who want to stop by and browse our inventory, get some gear, or just have a cup of coffee and talk fishing! For more info contact Nathaniel Clarke Linville, Owner, The Angling Company.

Grand Slam Fly Fishing on the Turneffe Flats, Belize.
In September, 2008, Capt. Dexter Simmons joined an angler couple on a trip to Turneffe Flats, Belize. The fishing was great, and the hospitality was outstanding! We are planning a 2009 trip to Turneffe Flats for August or September and you can join us! The owner Craig Hayes has extended a generous offer for our group. They are going to run a 2 for 1 special with the price for two anglers being $5,200/week for August or September. So, divide that number in two and you get $2,600 per person! That is a $1300 discount off of the regular rate of $3900 per person. I think you will agree that this is a great deal. You can already tell that I am very excited about it! Call me or email me to sign up!
Bonefish and Tarpon Unlimited!
Bonefish & Tarpon Unlimited was developed for a simple reason – to support research, education, and conservation of bonefish and tarpon. At BTU’s inception in 1998, little data existed on bonefish and tarpon, two of the world’s most popular saltwater gamefish. BTU is made up of recreational anglers, guides, and marine industry leaders dedicated to increasing our knowledge of bonefish and tarpon biology so we may better manage these species and ensure the fisheries for future generations. (BTU is currently undergoing a name change to Bonefish and Tarpon Trust, with the same mission.) I encourage all anglers to join BTU!
Our Father (Mother) - Son (Daughter) Key West Flats Fishing Trips are now scheduled for throughout the summer, fall, winter, and spring.

Moon Calendar!
Check out phases of the Moon for your future Fishing Trip. Remember, you want a Full Moon or a New Moon for the best fishing,
because the tidal currents are strongest during those phases. Our Tarpon, Bonefish and Permit feed more actively during these "Spring Tide" phases. The fishing is best 1,2,3,4 or 5 days before, during and after the full or new moon.
Fall Bonefish Season!
This lovely lady landed this handsome Bonefish on a spectacular day in the Florida Keys backcountry.
