Default Please explain

When fishing what a flat is. I hear/read about them but I'm having a slow moment. Can someone define this for me.

The fish are holding on a flat.

A flat bottom fulla mud

A mud flat, usually adjacent to a ledge. Could be a sand flat though, but not normally where where we are.

to explain it better, a flat is just an area with no depth change, usually associated near ledges, drop-offs etc. Could be mud, sand, other.

basicly just an area of flat level bottom without much depth change, as the name implies its a "flat" area, most oyster beds could be thought of as flats but the more common picture it describes is sandy flat areas.
