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**

Snook
Snook fishing near Winter Park requires a trip to the coast, but the rewards are well worth it. The Indian River Lagoon, just east of Winter Park, is a renowned snook fishery. Target mangrove shorelines, docks, and bridges, especially during periods of moving water. Snook are ambush predators, so look for areas with structure and current breaks. Spring and fall are traditionally considered the best times, as snook move inshore to spawn and feed. Live bait, such as pilchards or mullet, is highly effective, but artificial lures like swimbaits and jerkbaits can also produce. A crucial local tip: familiarize yourself with the snook regulations, as they are strictly enforced, including seasonal closures and size limits. Also, consider fishing at night under dock lights, as snook are often more active after dark. The snook in this region are known for their strength and fighting ability, offering a true challenge for anglers.
