Florida flats fishing help
I recently relocated to Miami and am interested in flats fishing. I was
wondering if anyone could give me any information as to what mile markers might be a good place to stop and go flats fishing on foot (wading in). I would like to try it this way before I invest an a flats boats. Come to think of it does anyone have any suggestion as to modified v-hull that would work on the flats as well as the open ocean say for loke dolphin that would be around a twenty three footer. Also any ideas on baits for the flats, artificials, dead, or live. Thanks |

'03 Florida Sportsman pg. 32 Look for Jimmy Johnson's Book Here is a link at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...ef=pd_sim_book s_1/002-0658323-5024847?v=glance&s=books Of course any site that has been published in a book or magazine is not likely to be a secret honey hole and a wise angler would never share those if they expected them to remain 'secret' so it will take a little self exploration. However, there are many wadable areas along the string of keys and many are in fact a good potential for fish. As for a boat, I personally do not think you will find a single boat to meet both of your expectations. In fact, one flats boat may be better or worse at a particular task. You will probably not find a boat with the ride, dry ride, range needed for near shore fishing that will also allow stealthy fishing in the shallows and allow you to move it easily with a pole to sneak up on wary fish. But, one idea is to get a bay boat that will allow the near shore fishing capability and add a sit on top kayak to carry to the flats and take into the shallow flats for stealth and really as a wading station where the bottom is firm enough.
