Stuart Inshore Fly Fishing Charters
Stuart, Florida
The ultimate Flats trip for the solo fly or spin angler. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a "first timer" looking for that 'Catch of A Lifetime'- the flats of Indian River is where you'll find it. Fishing as a solo angler will maximize your catching potential. Making that 'Inshore Slam' you've been hoping for- much more attainable. The fish on these flats will test your ability to be quick and accurate. By fishing with Capt. Mark one on one you have the potential to capitalize on each and every shot you get. Safety, weather conditions, less boat weight, and better interaction between you and your captain are some additional reasons a solo angler trip is recommended. Capt. Mark's skiff allows us to take advantage of the shallow flats while also providing a silent and stealthy approach to the most wary of fish. It has been constructed to get us into mere inches of water enabling us to pole easily within close casting distance of fish tailing in as little as 6 inches of water. Aside from our targeted redfish, snook, trout, and tarpon- you can also expect shots at barracuda, jacks, snappers, and sharks. Our service will provide all of the necessary equipment; Fly Rods, Spinning Rods, lures and/or bait. However, you are welcome to bring your own equipment. **Guide fees include bait, water, fuel, ice, tackle and expertise. Other beverages, lunches and tips are not included. Deposit is required**

Red Snapper
Carrabelle offers some fantastic Red Snapper fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, but timing is key. Focus your efforts during the federal season, typically in the summer months. The nearshore reefs and wrecks hold good numbers of snapper, and understanding the local forage is crucial. Look for areas with abundant baitfish like cigar minnows or pinfish. Natural presentations, like cut bait or live bait on a Carolina rig, tend to work best. Be prepared to adjust your depth based on the water temperature and current. Pay attention to the tides; slack tides often produce better bites. A popular access point is the Carrabelle Boat Club, offering convenient ramp access to the Gulf. Also, remember to check the FWC regulations for any specific closures or changes to the season before you head out.
