Gulf Coast Flats Fishing

After several years of running Texas Flats Fishing and discovering just how popular flats fishing is among Texas anglers, I've decided to test the waters so to speak for the rest of the gulf coast.

I've been fishing my entire life, growing up on a small river in Kentucky I was introduced to freshwater fishing at an early age. Since then I've been fortunate enough to fish destinations such as the Florida Keys, multiple locations along Florida' West Coast, the bayou's of Louisiana, and of coarse all along the shores of the state I call home now, Texas.

For the past three or four years I've primarily focused on flats fishing, for those that don't know it's unlike any other form of fishing.,I compare it to hunting. You literally hunt for fish in shallow areas and sight cast to them, all the while attempting not to spook them, when it all comes together it can be quite an adrenaline rush!

While flats fishing sounds simple, it requires a certain level of skill and some rather unique equipment. The best "manual" available to learn the tricks of the trade is experience, and if you're new to the sport you obviously have to start someplace. Texas Flats Fishing has been helping Texas anglers discover new techniques, fishing locations, and equipment needed for around three years. The launch of Gulf Coast Flats Fishing is an effort to do the same for anglers all along the gulf coast, from the Florida Keys to the Texas Mexico border. Registration is free and the fishing is just heating up, join us as we become the premiere Gulf Coast Flats fishing resource.
