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**

Redfish
Chasing Redfish around Clearwater Beach offers a diverse range of angling opportunities, from the open flats to the mangrove-lined shorelines. Spring and fall are generally the most productive seasons, as Redfish school up to spawn. Focus your efforts on areas with plentiful seagrass, oyster bars, or docks. Live shrimp, cut bait, or artificial lures like spoons and soft plastics are all effective. A practical tip for fishing Clearwater Beach: utilize the early morning or late evening hours when the water is cooler and the fish are more active. Also, remember that tides play a crucial role, so plan your trips around periods of moving water. The Redfish population here is known for its size and abundance, offering anglers a chance to land trophy-sized fish.
