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**

Best Time to Catch Snook
Snook can be caught year-round in Cape Canaveral. Right now in February, activity is low.
Seasonal Activity Chart
Snook
Cape Canaveral offers some exceptional Snook fishing, with opportunities in the Indian River Lagoon, Banana River, and nearshore waters. The warmer months, particularly spring and fall, are ideal as Snook become more active. Focus your efforts around docks, mangroves, and bridges, especially during periods of moving water. Live shrimp is a go-to bait, but artificial lures like paddle tails and jerkbaits can also be highly effective. A local tip is to fish around lighted docks at night, as Snook are ambush predators and often congregate in these areas. Be mindful of the tide, as Snook tend to be more active during incoming and outgoing tides. The Snook population in this area is generally healthy, but responsible angling practices are crucial to maintain the fishery for future generations.
