Outstanding experience. Great food and facility. We were greeted in the most welcoming manner. Ms. Patsy and Ms. Mary are blessed. Capt. Cooper worked his tail off. We had poor weather, yet Coop put us on fish immediately and we limited on specks within minutes. This man deserves an award. We caught reds while fighting rain storms, high winds, and rough waves. Our captain maintained composure and professionalism. We never felt insecure or in danger. In a world of fish vs fish sticks, we had fish. Thank you Captain Cooper. Great times.

So I booked a trip last minute for just myself. The staff were exceptionally friendly, referred to me by name and made sure that I was seated with others for meals. They also were very accomodating for any need that arised. The room was very comfortable and clean and the social hour with horderve's was a good time and delicious. The meals were excellent especially Lilly's pork chops. My guide (Bryan) got me on the fish and it was a great day. My arm was quite sore from fighting fish! All in all a very rewarding time.

THIS PLAEC IS CRAZY!!! ( I went in October ) What a time we had! What do you want to know? Everything was top notch. Its a mans version of a spa. The staff know how to take care of a lodge of fishermen. The charters were great! Scenery is beautiful. Caught a TON of red drum and a few other fish. You wont be disappointed.

I hosted a client here for two half day fishing segments and an overnight stay. The booking process was very smooth and Patsy was super helpful. Hospitality here is excellent and the staff were attentive and friendly. Food was delicious and we were well fed. We had Capt Hoop who worked hard to show us a good time/successful outing on the water - we hit our trout limit both days. Thanks for a great time, we’ll be back!

We had such a fantastic time. The lodges were very nice, up to date, and had all of the creature comforts you could want. The appetizer happy hour was always banging and the food was to die for. We got to go out into the bay with a father/son duo captain situation. They were so knowledgeable and made sure we caught tons of fish.

Bay Flats is an exceptional destination. The owners have put great attention to detail. The staff are passionate at all levels about serving the guests and ensuring they have a great experience. We there fly fishing for 2 days and while the conditions were somewhat difficult, our guide Capt., Tyler Brown, did an outstanding job of getting us plenty of opportunities and we still boated some nice Red’s. It’s a great fishery and overall set up supported by great people. It was my 3rd time to visit and will definitely be going back.
