SKINNY WATER PURSUITS OF TIGHT LINES & GOOD TIMES What do we mean by "SKINNY WATER PURSUITS"? We usually fish in a foot or less of water, stalking these fish up on the flats of Saint Joseph Sound and Tampa Bay. Sight fishing is one of the most exciting and effective ways to fish our waters. On our fishing charters our goal is to keep that rod bent and the drag screaming all day. Your Captain will be on the polling platform, pushing you through the flats and calling out fish to you. "11 o'clock, 50 feet, swimming left" is a good example of the direction you will hear. Then it's up to you to make the cast and hang on! We fish light tackle, & everything feels like a monster! Our fishing charters focus on skinny water sight fishing, primarily with artificial baits on spinning gear or fly fishing. We cruise around on a 1998 Hell's Bay Whipray, hull #38. This is the hull that started it all. This skiff was crafted by the legend Flip Pallot's hands and vision. She has been completely restored and updated with some modern comforts like Aquatraction and a trolling motor. This is one of the best poling skiffs in the world. We can get where most skiffs cannot, so it's just us & the fish. What it's all about! Man, I love what I do! Being a guide for me is an excuse to fish with new friends and give them the bow time they have been longing for. Sight fishing for Florida's top inshore species is an addiction and gets your blood pumping! It is similar to hunting where you have to pay close attention, read your surroundings while stalking these fish to take advantage of opportunities. Going after snook, Tarpon, and big Redfish are just a few of the targets you will see on each trip. Sight fishing the flats is a challenge with some big rewards and my clients absolutely love it! I love the history of fishing here in Florida. I grew up watching Flip on the Walker's Cay Chronicles and José Wejebe, dreaming that one day I would have a chance to be a guide. That's why I wanted a skiff with a storied past and deep roots in the Florida fishing scene. The team that started Hell's Bay really changed the game. Not only with the Whipray but also with what they were able to do in that revolutionary skiff. I feel that heritage every time I get in Hull #38. She has been upgraded but there is still has plenty of her vintage personality shining through. I hope to see you on the bow of the skiff soon! Read More
