Shallow ocean, or "flats," fishing is one of the most popular
coastal activities in Florida. No other place has such a large
combination of different shallow water species. In "Fishing
Florida's Flats," world-champion angler Jan Maizler draws on the
expertise of numerous "flatsmasters" who share their wisdom on how
to land a trophy catch. Their advice--suitable for a range of
first-time and experienced anglers--includes tackle selection,
techniques, and directions to "hot spots" for each flats species.
From habitat, biology, and feeding patterns to spotting tactics and
state records, each flats fish is covered in detail. Maizler offers
invaluable knowledge of the many vessels available, the different
kinds of flats and the best ways to wade them, and important
weather safety information. Maizler also reviews the recent
technical and electronic developments in flats fishing, such as
websites, software programs, and Global Positioning System devices
that are now necessary additions to the Florida flats angler's
arsenal. For the large and growing number of anglers who have
chosen flats fishing as their sport, this is the ultimate guide for
catching bonefish, tarpon, permit, barracuda, sharks, redfish,
seatrout, and snook in the state. Get hooked on "Fishing Florida's
Flats,"
