Spend the day with Fishin’ The Flats Charters and get hooked on fishing in Cedar Point!
These waters are known for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and more – with any luck, you’ll hook into a few! Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Fishin’ The Flats Charters is a kid-friendly charter service, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
You’ll be welcome aboard a 23’ Coastal Flats boat with room for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures. Live bait is available.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, lunch, and sunscreen. Drinks will be available for you. There will be some light snacks for you on board.
If you have any questions about fishing with Fishin’ The Flats Charters, feel free to send Capt. Chris a message down below.

3/4 Day Trip
Had an awesome trip with Captain Chris Gongora and Fishin’ the Flats Charters! We limited out on redfish early, and Chris made the call to target flounder—where I landed my personal best of a lifetime! Chris knows the water, keeps it fun, and puts you on the fish. Highly recommend and can’t wait to book again!

We spent the morning with Captain Chris and caught over a dozen fish and multiple species. He has a good boat and great gear. He knows the area well and we were catching right away. His set up would be good for families with small children or a few adults.

This was my family's first charter, we have kids age 6 and 9...one of which with special needs. Captain Chris was very friendly and engaging and both my kids loved him! He went out of his way to accommodate us when we had some particularly ridiculous requests. He also put us on the fish! We all got to take turns reeling in plenty of fish...even got into some slot redfish! 100% recommend him to any family...you won't regret it!
