Learn About Fishing Florida Flats
Fishing Florida Flats was founded to provide locals and visitors with the best fishing guides and nature guides in one location.
Fishing Florida Flats is a combined effort of many charter captains. We are located in Hudson, FL. We offer charters from two additional locations, including Tarpon Springs and Spring Hills. Our goal of this combined effort, is to allow ease of access to fishing trips, scalloping trips, and nature tours to the public for an outstanding price.

Our Captains
CAPTAIN JIMMY BITZAS
Captain Jimmy grew up in New York and has been fishing since the 1980’s he has fished all over the country from the East Coast to the Midwest and the West Coast. One of his favorite locations has always been the West Coast of Florida because of the abundance of different kind of species. His love for fishing inspired him to obtain his Master 25 ton Captains license from the United States Coast Guard so he can share his expertise and love of the sport with people from all over the world. Whether you are a first time fisherman or an expert, whether you want to fish the flats or check out Florida’s precious reef, Captain Jimmy is your guide. He is friendly and always has safety on his mind and loves to watch people catch fish. His favorite saying is “you never know what you’re going to bring up”. Come join him for memorable day on the water.
CAPTAIN MIKE RABON
It all started with my love for fishing. Fishing for me is not just a job, it’s a passion. I not only enjoy catching fish, but I also love putting people on fish and watching their excitement when they hook a big one. Being a fishing captain was always a dream of mine and I am excited to finally have the opportunity to achieve that goal, and to share it with others. There is no better feeling than being out on the water and taking in the wildlife and surroundings. It doesn’t get much
better than Florida’s Gulf Coast. It is one of the most relaxing and peaceful places on earth.
