Spear It Charters offers many kinds of fishing but when it comes to flats fishing our boat doesn't allow for shallow water entry so we highly recommend Captain Mike Bartlett from Key West Flats

Key West flats and backcountry waters offer some of the most exciting light tackle fishing in the world.  Part of the famous Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge, this 100 mile stretch of mangrove islands and shallow flats, splitting the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico is home to the most elusive sport fish in all of angling.  The famous Grand Slam trio of tarpon, permit and bonefish roam these waters waiting to test anglers and their gear to the limit.  This is shallow water sight fishing at its finest.

Along with the famous Grand Slam species, these waters are home to many other species including sharks, barracuda, jacks, redfish, and cobia. Above the waterline this area is also home to countless ospreys, pelicans, egrets, and even a few nesting bald eagles. Many other birds of prey make stops here during their winter migrations. Dolphins, manatee, and sea turtles are also common sights as we quietly push along these silent shallows.

We run top of the line flats skiffs designed to float in inches of water and get you to our fishing destination quickly and comfortably.  We use only the finest saltwater fly fishing and spin fishing tackle manufactured. 

We offer half, three quarter and full day charters as well as split trips and night trips during tarpon season – February through June.
