Other customer memories from this trip
Ray's flats fishing trips utilize specialized shallow-water craft designed specifically for Florida's challenging backcountry waters. These boats feature extremely low drafts (under 6 inches) that can navigate the skinniest flats where other vessels simply can't reach, providing access to untouched fishing grounds. The stable platform includes a poling platform that allows Ray to silently stalk fish while you prepare to cast. Wide, open decks provide ample casting space for multiple anglers, while secure rod storage keeps your equipment protected between spots. The boat includes essential safety equipment, GPS navigation, and comfortable seating for trips that often involve covering substantial water. For wading sessions, the vessel serves as a perfect mobile base that can be quickly anchored on the flats, allowing anglers to spread out and cover more productive water on foot.
