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**

Sharks
Miami's warm waters and access to the Atlantic and Biscayne Bay make it a year-round destination for shark fishing. You'll find a variety of species, from hammerheads and bull sharks to blacktips and nurse sharks. The best time to target sharks is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they are most active. Consider fishing around Government Cut or near the many artificial reefs just offshore. If you prefer land-based fishing, try Haulover Inlet. A crucial tip for Miami: be mindful of the boat traffic, especially on weekends. Also, always use a strong wire leader and circle hooks to minimize harm to the sharks. Remember to check the local fishing regulations before heading out, as certain species may have size or seasonal restrictions.
