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
Speckled trout, or spotted seatrout, can be a rewarding target near Royal Palm Beach, though direct access to prime saltwater flats requires a short drive. Focus your efforts in the brackish waters of the Loxahatchee River and the canals that connect to the Intracoastal Waterway. These areas offer a mix of structure and salinity that trout prefer. The best times to fish for trout here are during the spring and fall, when water temperatures are moderate. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic and effective technique. Soft plastic lures, such as paddle tails and jerkbaits, also work well when fished around docks, mangroves, and grass flats. Consider launching from a public ramp near Jupiter to access the more productive areas. Be aware of the tide and current flow, as trout will often be positioned to ambush prey moving with the tide. The local trout population can be variable, but persistence and attention to detail will increase your chances of success.
