Action-packed day from the get-go! Shrunga and I hit the flats around late evening in early fall, with partly cloudy skies overhead and Butler Beach waters looking prime for some serious flats action. The conditions were just right for what we had planned - perfect visibility and calm enough water to work the shallows effectively.
With our gear rigged and ready, we focused on sight casting and poling with live bait through the productive flats around Florida NY. The shallow water jigging really paid off when we connected with some solid Sea Trout that were cruisin' the flats and feeding actively. This area is perfect for flats fishing because the water clarity lets you spot fish from a distance and the structure holds bait consistently. We wrapped up with bent rods and great memories, plus Shrunga got to experience some real backcountry action!
