Default 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

See the Sept. '03 Florida Sportsman pg. 32

Look for Jimmy Johnson's Book

Here is a link at Amazon

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.

Happy fishing,

AtlJoe
