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
While red snapper fishing off Delray Beach requires careful attention to regulations (seasons and size limits), the rewards can be well worth it. These prized reef dwellers inhabit the offshore structures and artificial reefs that dot the ocean floor. Focus your efforts around these areas, particularly in depths of 80-120 feet. The summer months typically offer the best opportunities, but always check the latest FWC regulations. A local's secret: many anglers find success using live pinfish or grunts as bait, fished near the bottom. Remember to use circle hooks to minimize injury to the fish, especially if you plan to release them. The red snapper population here is managed closely, so responsible fishing practices are essential to ensure its sustainability.
