Flats Fishing 101

If you're new to flats fishing, you're in for a treat. Picture yourself standing on the bow of a skiff, scanning crystal-clear waters for shadows and movement. Your guide poles the boat silently across the shallows, eyes peeled for signs of fish. When a target is spotted, it's all about making that perfect cast. We'll equip you with the right gear - typically light tackle or fly rods designed for accuracy and delicate presentations. Whether you're throwing flies or tossing lures, the key is a quiet approach and pinpoint accuracy. Don't worry if you're a beginner - our guides are patient teachers and will have you casting like a pro in no time.

What Anglers Are Saying

While we don't have specific customer reviews for this new offering yet, our flats fishing trips consistently receive top marks from satisfied anglers. Many praise the personalized attention, the thrill of sight-fishing, and the chance to target multiple species in a single day. Clients often highlight the knowledge and skill of our guides, as well as the quality of the fishing grounds we access.

Target Species Breakdown

Harlequin Rockfish: These colorful bottom-dwellers are a sight to behold. While not typically found on the flats, they might be an option if we venture to nearby rocky areas. Harlequin Rockfish are known for their vibrant patterns and make for excellent eating. They're most active during daylight hours and can be caught year-round, though spring and fall often see higher catch rates.

Houndfish: Also known as crocodile needlefish, these long, slender predators are a blast to target on the flats. They're fast, acrobatic, and often seen skimming the surface. Houndfish are most active during the warmer months and love to chase fast-moving lures or flies. Watch out for their impressive leaps when hooked - it's a sight you won't forget!

Hogfish: While primarily a reef species, hogfish can sometimes be found on deeper grass flats or areas with patchy hard bottom. They're prized for their delicious meat and unique appearance. Hogfish are typically targeted with live bait or jigs, and their curiosity can make for some interesting encounters. Peak season is usually late spring through early fall.

Horse-Eye Jack: These powerful swimmers are a favorite among flats anglers for their hard-fighting nature. Horse-Eye Jacks often cruise the edges of flats, especially where deeper water is nearby. They're suckers for fast-moving lures and flies, and when hooked, prepare for a serious battle. Look for them year-round, with peak activity during warmer months.

Hardhead Sea Catfish: While not typically a target species for most flats anglers, hardhead catfish are common inhabitants of many coastal flats. They're bottom feeders and can be caught year-round. If you're looking to simply bend a rod or introduce kids to fishing, these whiskered fish can provide consistent action. Just watch out for their sharp spines when handling!

Beyond the Catch

While the fishing is undoubtedly the star of the show, our custom flats trips offer so much more. Soak in the stunning scenery of turquoise waters and mangrove-lined shores.
