The type of striper flats fishing most written about is sight fishing from an elevated position during sunlight hours. It's been super fun when I've done it, but I don't get to do so too often because of my schedule. Instead, I wade fish flats at dawn alot. While I do see some fish swimming subsurface as the sun comes up, I'm more often blind fishing structure on the flats (bars, channels, sluiceways, etc.) or fishing to tailing, boiling or breaking fish. There's usually not enough light or elevation to see many fish cruising. I still call it flats fishing, because I do it on expanses of shallow water that fill in with the tide -- Barnstable Harbor, or Chapin Beach on the Cape for example -- but it doesn't conform to what gets written about as flats fishing. How do you guys define "flats fishing"? Is it a sight fishing game exclusively?
