Trip Overview

This one-on-one outing is all about maximizing your time on the flats. We'll head out early to beat the crowds and catch the best light for spotting fish. With just you and your guide, we can focus 100% on your goals for the day. Want to work on your casting? Chase a specific species? Or just soak in the beauty of the flats? We've got you covered. Our experienced guides know these waters like the back of their hand and will put you on fish while sharing local knowledge you won't find in any guidebook.

What to Expect on the Water

We'll be poling through skinny water, keeping our eyes peeled for tailing fish and nervous water. Depending on conditions and your preferences, we might wade some areas or stick to the boat. Either way, you'll need to be ready for quick, accurate casts when we spot fish. Don't worry if you're new to this - your guide will coach you through the whole process. We use light tackle setups, usually 8-weight rods with floating lines. If you've got a favorite rod, feel free to bring it along. Otherwise, we've got top-notch gear you can use.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about having the flats all to yourself. No competing with other boats or anglers - just you, your guide, and miles of pristine water. Our clients love the personalized attention and the chance to really dial in their skills. Plus, with a private trip, we can adjust on the fly. If one spot isn't producing, we'll zip over to another honey hole without worrying about anyone else's schedule. It's the ultimate in flexibility and customization.

Species You'll Want to Hook

While we can't guarantee specific species on any given day (that's fishing for you), these waters are home to some real beauties. Bonefish are a flats classic - these "grey ghosts" are lightning fast and put up an incredible fight for their size. They love to cruise the shallows, often in schools, making them a perfect target for sight fishing.

If you're up for a challenge, permit are the holy grail of flats fishing. These wary fish have incredible eyesight and are notoriously picky eaters. Landing one is a true accomplishment that'll have you grinning for days. They tend to hang around deeper edges of the flats, often following stingrays to snack on crabs and shrimp the rays stir up.

And let's not forget about tarpon. These silver kings can grow to over 100 pounds and are famous for their acrobatic leaps when hooked. Spring and early summer are prime time for migratory tarpon, but we have some resident fish year-round. Watching a big tarpon roll on the surface is a heart-stopping moment every angler dreams about.
