During incoming tides, fish push onto the flats to feed, while outgoing tides concentrate them in channels and deeper pockets. Ray times trips around these prime tide windows to maximize your success. Weather patterns significantly impact water clarity, with partly cloudy conditions often providing the perfect mix of visibility for spotting fish without excessive glare. Beginners can expect patient instruction on casting techniques specific to flats fishing, where accuracy matters more than distance. The waters around Florida City feature a mix of grass beds, sandy patches, and oyster bars that create perfect ambush points for predatory fish, and Ray will show you exactly how to work these productive zones.
