(Scroll to the bottom for trips in our area)
In fishing, a flat is a shallow area of water with a relatively flat bottom, often found in coastal waters. Flats can be made of sand, mud, gravel, or rock, and can be found in freshwater and saltwater, but flats fishing usually refers to saltwater.
Flats can be found in any depth of water, from as shallow as 5 feet in smaller lakes to as deep as 35-40 feet in huge bodies of water. The different variations of flats are defined by the type of bottom they have, with sand flats being the most prominent. Some ideal conditions for flats fishing include Tide, Wind, Light, and Water clarity. Flats fishing techniques include Baits, Lures, Light spinning tackle, and Fly fishing. Flats fishing was developed in the 1940s in Florida and the Bahamas, and is popular in Florida, which has a large variety of flats fish species.
