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**

Speckled Trout
Layton, Florida, offers some fantastic Speckled Trout fishing, particularly in the backcountry waters and grass flats surrounding the area. These fish thrive in the diverse ecosystem of Florida Bay. The cooler months, from late fall through early spring, are prime time for targeting Speckled Trout here. Focus on areas with seagrass beds and deeper channels where trout can ambush prey. A local's secret is to use popping corks with live shrimp or artificial lures over the grass flats. Another key is to pay attention to water clarity; Trout prefer clean water, so look for areas with good water flow. You can access these fishing grounds from various boat ramps and marinas in Layton. The Speckled Trout in this region are known for their beautiful coloration and can reach impressive sizes, with some exceeding 20 inches.
