Learned more about saltwater fly fishing from this than a walk on course at bean. Thanks so much.

excellent, glad I'm able to help.

76 years old and I still have the passion! Nothing beats working fish.

thanks Tony! I love to hear that. I'm about to post a new one... Hope you enjoy it!!

Great images.I'll watch this over and over whenever it snows in Connecticut. I envy the extensive sandy beaches of LI. I fish Rhode Island and CT from shore lots of rocks. Fish from boats but a surf caught fish is... more delicious. Please do more films. Also, diehard fly guys should get a spin set up for those days when the fish are more than 70 feet out. A wood casting egg and a fly is toxic!

When the bites hot time to hit the surf.....You can never tell when you might miss an opportunity!!

Good day all most time

What time of year is this? Fantastic instruction about the subtleties of presentation. Can be applied to spin fishing as well, especially when using a teaser.

this is Fall, sometime between late October and mid-November. Fueled by peanut bunker I believe. Thank you!

Really great video and drone shots only enhance it. I think I know the area and was there today with my buddy. No birds, no fish, nothing but wind and saw only two guys fishing with no results. Do you use a 30lb. straight mono leader or a tapered one?

thanks John. feels fishy out here. there are definitely not many people fishing hard. I'm generally throwing lines with short, compact heads in the salt. I'll do about a six foot leader with that, straight. If it's clear water and I want to present delicately, I would tie in another thinner section of leader at most 2/3 the length of the first line. I'm seldom worried about a delicate presentation in my fishing conditions though. A full moon night with flat, glassy surf - then I'd use a tapered leader and cast lightly.

@@SouthForkSalt Is that rio outbound short or airflo Sniper your using? im currently using a 9wt with intermediate line and having a hell of a time getting the fly infront of me far enough before the waves start pushing it back towards me. you think a compact head line would help with that?

What reel are you using? Thing looks sick

Loved the Flute Loop Bastie Boys music, classic shit! haha. Great video and catches... gotta try to fish some bass on the fly too!

Great vid. How & where do you get drive on permits. Is only 1 needed for the whole South Shore? Thanks in advance for input.

@SouthForkSalt

there's different permits for different beaches. state parks require one, county parks require a different one, and then towns usually require their own if they allow beach driving.

Awesome video! Are you using sink tip or intermediate line?

@SouthForkSalt

4 жыл бұрын

thanks! either of those would be ideal for fishing heavier currents, but I'm just using a floating line here. I'm throwing a lead-eye clouser, and throwing a quick mend or two for extra depth if needed. Luckily the bass came in close sometimes and fed close to the surface.

@@SouthForkSalt Thank you for letting me know i basically use a spey rod with sink tips but I'm going to start using a conventional rod also for saltwater. Thanks again

Are you using a weight forward floating line?

@SouthForkSalt

Yes, that is pretty much always what I'm using in saltwater.

What weight rod?

What type of fly line are you using?

weight forward 10 floating. I prefer some sink when the surf is big though.

Chest mounts and fly fishing don’t mix use a head cam
