Florida City's flats offer some of the most productive shallow water fishing in the region, with optimal conditions typically found from early morning through mid-day when visibility is best for sight fishing. Summer brings partly cloudy conditions with occasional rain, but the fishing rarely slows down - in fact, weather transitions often trigger feeding activity. When planning your trip, lightweight, quick-drying clothing and polarized sunglasses are essential for spotting fish in the shallows. The flats here provide excellent opportunities for wading, allowing you to quietly approach feeding fish without spooking them. Water temperatures in the shallows warm quickly, creating perfect conditions for active fish throughout much of the year. These trips work particularly well for anglers who enjoy visual fishing experiences where you can actually spot your target before making the cast.
Your Florida City flats fishing adventure typically begins with an early morning meet-up at our convenient dock location. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before your scheduled departure to get settled and discuss the day's plan with your guide, Ray. Trips run approximately 8 hours, giving you plenty of time on the water. The Butter Beach Excursion includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so you'll stay fueled throughout your fishing day. We provide all necessary fishing equipment, though you're welcome to bring favorite lures or tackle if preferred. These trips are appropriate for most skill levels, as Ray adjusts techniques to match your experience. Beginners receive helpful instruction while experienced anglers can focus on refining sight fishing skills in these clear, shallow waters. Remember to bring sun protection, as Florida's flats offer limited shade during your fishing adventure.
Our Florida flats fishing trips operate from specialized shallow-draft skiffs designed specifically for navigating the skinny waters of Florida's productive flats. These technical poling skiffs feature elevated casting platforms that provide excellent visibility for spotting fish, while their whisper-quiet approach won't spook wary species in clear water. The boats accommodate up to 3 anglers comfortably with dedicated storage for tackle and personal items. Their minimal draft allows access to super-shallow areas unreachable by conventional boats, putting you right where the fish are holding. Each vessel includes essential safety equipment, comfortable seating, and shade options for between fishing spots. The stable platform makes these boats suitable for anglers of all experience levels, while their maneuverability allows your guide to position you perfectly for sight-casting opportunities.
