Bass Flats & Beyond is a locally-owned charter service. If you’re looking for the perfect inshore trip, fishing the shallows of Stuart, FL is as good as it gets, and Capt, John Larsen knows all the best spots to visit. Snook, Tarpon, and a host of other inshore gamefish lurk in these murky waters, just waiting for a hook to come their way.
Spend the day fishing aboard a 22’ Sterling flats boat. This incredible vessel is as at home in the Indian River Lagoon as she is the local lakes. She is equipped with Garmin electronic to lock you on the best spots around, and can cruise at staggering speeds to make sure you waste no time getting to them.
You have a range of trips to choose from for your day. With options for anything from two to eight hours on the water, any schedule or budget is catered for. You can also pick your target species from one of the longest lists you’re ever likely to see.
Tarpon, Trout, and Snook top the bill, but you can also find Mangrove Snappers, Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead, Jack Crevalle, Pompano, and so much more. Capt. John specializes in light tackle and fly fishing. He provides quality conventional tackle and welcomes fly anglers to bring their own gear along, too.
All trips come with tackle, lures, and licenses as standard. Bait can be caught on the trip, or can be purchased ahead of time for a small surcharge. At the end of your trip, all your catch will be cleaned and filleted for you, so remember to bring a big cooler!
