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 Lake Harbor, Florida, isn't directly on the coast, persistent anglers can target red snapper with a boat and a journey to the Gulf of Mexico. Red snapper season is highly regulated, so pay close attention to the opening dates and size/bag limits. When the season is open, focus on offshore reefs and wrecks. These structures provide the habitat red snapper need. A local tip is to use heavy tackle, as these fish can be quite strong and live in deep water. Also, consider using a fish finder to locate promising structures and schools of fish. The water clarity can vary, so adjust your bait and lure presentation accordingly. Be sure to check the weather forecast before heading out, as conditions in the Gulf can change quickly. Remember to have all necessary permits and licenses before fishing.
