Florida Keys Utah flats fishing Two to 4 feet of water, electric motors and an 8-weight rod are all that's needed to go bonefishing for carp on the flats of Flaming Gorge.
Crayfish patterns are the key.
Florida flats Prime time in the Keys is May-June, when flats fishing and tarpon runs are full tilt. Double-digit bonefish are still sucking crustaceans on the flats around Islamorada. Out of ten boats and clients, about half will have a great day. It's just a matter of where you go having a little good luck and hoping the fish are going to be there on the tides. Plan your trip around a morning flood tide.
