Florida NY Flats Fishing: Sight Fishing & Poling at Butler Beach

One for the books today! Soundarya and I headed out this late afternoon in summer for some flats fishing around Florida NY. The partly cloudy skies kept things comfortable with a chance of rain throughout the day, and the water conditions at Butler Beach were just right for what we had planned.

Once the stage was set, we focused on sight fishing with plenty of poling and stalking through the shallow water. The flats around Florida NY are perfect for this kind of fishing - you can really work the area methodically with shallow water jigging when the conditions line up right. We didn't stick a trophy on this run, but every cast and minute on the water was worth it, and we had a great time cruisin' the flats!
