Quick answer
Home water. Flats Hound is based in Bonita Springs, minutes from the Imperial River, Fish Trap Bay, and the southern mouth of Estero Bay. Trips run from $750 (half day) with all gear and licenses included. Call (239) 994-4027 to book.
Bonita Springs is where Flats Hound lives — and it shows. The Imperial River winds out past oyster bars and mangrove islands into some of the most productive shallow water in Southwest Florida. Snook stage along the river mouths nearly year-round, redfish prowl the bars on moving tides, and in spring the first tarpon of the season roll through the passes.
Staying in Bonita Springs or Bonita Beach? This is the shortest run to the fish you'll find anywhere — more of your charter is spent fishing, not riding.
