Fishing The Flats With Henry Waszczuk

When it comes to fishing the flats of Florida or Belize

, Costa Rica or Mexico, you can't do better for a guide than Mr. Henry Waszczuk. If you check out his TV show, Fishing the Flats, you're guaranteed week after week of exciting trips to far-flung locales all in the pursuit of nature's most challenging sport fish.

The host of Fishing the Flats, Henry Waszczuk, has himself dipped into the skinny waters of Charlotte Harbor for cold-weather hunting of redfish, as well as many other Floridian fishing grounds. Fishing the Flats in Florida could be a weekly series all by itself.

Still, I didn't hit gold in fly fishing the flats until I did a little research on the huge importance of tides. What's going on is that the fish themselves sense tide changes, and they use them to their advantage in searching out their own prey. If I'm serious about fishing the flat waters, I'd better grab me a time table!

It works like this. When the tide is out, the fish I seek are scarce. I'm there to fish the flats, not waste my time. On the other hand, when the incoming tides flood over the flats, it encourages the reds to fan out and go huntin' in newly accessible (higher) areas.

When fishing the flats in Florida, the choices of site are endless. If you don't want to worry about tides, you could fish the flats around Mosquito Lagoon, or the Banana River Lagoon. This area is part of the Indian River Lagoon system, world famous for its redfish.

Incoming tide is not the only time to fish the flats. As a matter of fact, game fish sense when the tide is about to go out. They'll hang around in the mouths of tidal rivers, confident that a blue-plate special is coming their way, just as soon as the tide turns! This is when I love fishing the flats, when the reds are everywhere.

Exotic locals alone do not make for riveting Fishing the flats TV. Your host, Henry Waszczuk, also provides knowledgeable guidance on gear. What kind of skiff is required to fish the flats of St. Augustine for flounder, for example? What kind of rod is best, what kind of line, what kind of lure?

Any question you may have about fly fishing the flats is sure to be answered in the course of watching this show, or perusing Waszczuk's magazine called "Fins and Skins.
