Inside tips from some of the best flats fishing experts in the state. "An extremely detailed and thorough book that no serious shallow water angler will be able to pass up."--John D. Brownlee, Editor-in-Chief, Center Console Angler Magazine "Excellent. . . . Maizler has compiled a world of interesting detail."--Jim Hardie, freelance writer for the Miami Herald, Stuart News, and Florida Fishing Week 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.

Comment:
This is a good primer for those, like myself, who are just starting out in the salt. I am a fly fisherman and a book dedicated to fly angling would be better for my purposes, but, c'est la vie.

Good book on fishing in the flats. While I have been fishing the flats in NE Florida for a few years, I picked up a number of good tips that I am anxious to try.

Comment:
This is one of the best books ever compiled and published about specific regionalized fishing techniques. It might just rival Vic Dunaway's classic, Baits, Rigs and Tackle. The investment of $24.95 will pay for itself on your first outing on the water and you might want to check out the other books by Maizler. He's in a class by himself when bringing authoritative fishing basics to life for the reader. Number one on my list of presents to give people that fish -- novice or expert alike.
