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
Targeting Red Snapper off Miami Beach requires navigating specific regulations and understanding the local underwater landscape. While not as prolific as in the Panhandle, Red Snapper can be found around artificial reefs and deepwater wrecks. Pay close attention to the open season, which is typically short and strictly enforced. Success hinges on finding structure in deeper water, often 80 feet or more. Use your electronics to locate promising spots and pay attention to any signs of baitfish. Natural presentations are key. Live or dead bait like squid or pinfish fished on a Carolina rig are popular choices. Adjust your depth based on water temperature and current conditions. A handy tip is to use a chum bag to create a scent trail and attract snapper to your area. Remember that releasing undersized fish carefully is crucial for maintaining the population. Consider launching from a marina with access to the Atlantic, like Crandon Park Marina, for a shorter run to deeper waters.
