Spring Flats Fishing starts to get good as the water warms up. These days are hard to time out, but if you find yourself here I would recommend giving it some time out of your charter to take a look.

We sight fish them on shallow flats as they soak up the sun and wait for prey to sweep by them in the current. Wintertime permit fishing can also be epic on warmer days. These big toothy critters reach over 20lbs and are a blast to catch on light tackle. There are some times of the year that are better than others depending on migrational patterns and weather conditions. Make sure to get in touch and I will let you know what’s hot and what’s not! Wintertime Flats Fishing is a great time of year to target the explosive barracuda on the flats. Give us a call today and set up your flats fishing adventure! Getting lucky is as simple as preparation meeting opportunity and it is up to your fishing guide to provide you with both of these elements. I have been been blessed to spend a lot of time on the water from Big Pine to the west of Key West and all of which have shown me some epic fisheries. There are no shortcuts to success and there is no such thing as luck. Here at Tailing Water Expeditions we provide nothing but the best service and fishing equipment available. Your guide should do his best to instruct the angler as the day goes on and work hard to deliver the most successful experience possible. Whether you are the avid fly fisherman wanting to chase down glory or this is your first time fishing in saltwater, or even in Florida. Your guide should be dedicated to the trip at hand and customize it based on what you would like to target and the angler’s experience. Based on what’s going on in the area (weather, tides, water temperature, moon phase, etc) you never know where a flats fishing trip is going to take you. A great flats guide lives by the ever-changing conditions.
