Explore Florida’s Inshore Fishing Paradise with Captain Forrest Kramer
Premier Light-Tackle Charters on the Saint Lucie Waterway – Stuart, Florida
If you’re searching for the perfect inshore fishing charter in Stuart, Florida, you’ve found it. With over 10 years of guiding experience, Captain Forrest Kramer offers more than just a fishing trip—he delivers a fully immersive coastal adventure through the quiet backwaters, winding mangrove channels, and shallow grass flats that make the St. Lucie River and Indian River Lagoon world-famous for light-tackle angling.
Launching out of Stuart on a nimble 17-foot technical poling skiff, Forrest takes you where bigger boats can’t go. This shallow-draft skiff is made for stalking fish in inches of water, giving anglers up-close shots at Florida’s most exciting inshore gamefish.
What You’ll Catch:
Target a wide variety of prized species including:
• Snook – aggressive fighters often found under mangroves and docks
• Tarpon – silver kings that explode out of the water and test your strength
• Redfish – cruising the flats, tailing in the shallows, ready for a well-placed cast
• Speckled Sea Trout – plentiful, hard-hitting, and perfect for light tackle
• Plus jacks, ladyfish, snapper, black drum, and seasonal surprises
Whether you prefer spinning gear or fly fishing, Forrest will customize the experience to your skill level and fishing style. Beginners are welcome and advanced anglers will be challenged.
The Experience:
Expect quiet mornings, crystal-clear flats, and heart-pounding strikes. Captain Forrest knows these waters like the back of his hand—from tide movements to bait patterns, fish behavior to seasonal migrations. Every charter is a chance to learn, explore, and hook into something unforgettable.
You’ll see more than just fish—Stuart’s inshore waterways are home to dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, and countless birds. It’s a front-row seat to the natural beauty of Florida’s Treasure Coast.
