Plunge into "Fishing the Flats," it's the deepest shallow water show on television.
* "Flats" are shallow water areas found in bays, around shorelines and above reefs. They support an enormous amount of marine life, and can be fished either with special boats, while wading, or from accessible shores. Part of the strong appeal of flats fishing is that schools or individual fish are spotted and stalked – requiring the angler to use stealth, strategy and skill to be successful.
