The Boat

When you book a trip with Laguna Fly Outfitters you will always have the right tools for the job. I am very blessed to run what I consider to be the best poling skiff on the market. The Chittum Laguna Madre was designed for the shallow bay system that we fish. It has the advantages of absolutely silent poling with zero hull slap. This is something Hal Chittum worked on for years with naval architects to avoid the wave given off the boat that is common to all vessels. This along with the Zephyr cove patented low water pick up and other designs allows us to get to skinny waters and then pole undetected to our quarry and get closer than ever before. The fishability is second to none and with the spider casting platform that I had him put on the deck we can control the line regardless of the ever present wind here on the Laguna. This feature is instrumental when fly fishing the Laguna Madre.

Nearshore Fishing with the addition of the new 21 Chittum provides us with a new weapon to access the surf and near shore waters for tarpon, ling, jacks, kingfish and possibly snapper when the weather allows. Inshore fishing when long runs are heavy weather is anticipated is more comfortable and faster and the new power pole move trolling motor on front or back for silent approach is unrivaled.
