Local Tips & Conditions
Florida City's flats fishing is characterized by shallow, clear waters that create ideal conditions for sight fishing. Water clarity at Butler Beach tends to be best during incoming tides, with afternoons offering consistent action even as weather builds. Summer brings warmer water temperatures that keep fish active in the shallows, though be prepared for afternoon thunderstorms that can develop quickly. When wade fishing these areas, wear appropriate footwear with good grip, as the bottom conditions can vary. Light tackle works well for this style of fishing, with 7-foot medium-action rods paired with 2500-3000 size reels providing the perfect balance of sensitivity and control. The ability to make accurate casts is more important than distance when sight fishing these flats, so practice your precision before arriving.
Plan Your Fishing Day
Trips typically begin at the Butler Beach access point, where you'll meet your guide, Ray Shetty. Afternoon departures around 3pm are standard, though times can be adjusted based on tide and weather conditions. Wear lightweight, quick-dry clothing and polarized sunglasses (absolutely essential for sight fishing). While basic tackle is provided, you're welcome to bring your preferred rods and reels. These flats fishing trips are suitable for anglers of all skill levels, with beginners appreciating the visual aspect of sight fishing and more experienced anglers enjoying the technical challenge of presenting flies or lures to visible fish. Plan for 4-5 hours on the water, with plenty of opportunities to catch fish throughout your session.
