    Ultra light Nasci 1000 great perch crappie reel 6 lb test tops 30 is plenty for anything 40 or 3500 Penn are larger stippers and great off shore pic up to 20 lb braid the 5-6 6500 are catfish salmon and light offshore many tuna and dorado in 6-7 k reels lots of line capacity for running fish There’s a difference in a 30 3500 I like the 2500-3500 for bass and inshore fishing covers your 30” plus reds and large spec trout for the bass man. No larger than 4 k especially if casting a lot keep the weight down

    A lot of what you guys are saying is the same stuff that has been happening over here in Connecticut. My roommate was first to notice it. Eventually I seen it for myself and how you guys explained it it is exactly what happened here yesterday. It was a bright orb or my friend called it a fireball. To me it look liked it was moving away from us and eventually it disappeared. She said it has happened 3 or more times already..

    I can't believe people still trap their line with their forefinger. I was shown how to trap my line with the tip of my thumb by my wife's father. Just the tip. All I do is roll it back to release it.

    Saw this a few years ago. Was just this orange orb, maybe the size of a bowling ball, but it was hard to tell. It was about 20ish feet away in the middle of the street when I noticed it, just floating there, and naturally I didnt know what to make of it, as I had never seen anything like it before. My mom was there, thankfully, or I would've doubted my own eyes. We watched from our driveway as it floated up and back toward the houses across the street before dipping below our line of sight and vanishing. It made no sound, moved at able a person's walking pace, and hovered very fluidly. It looked similar to the orb in the Wizard of Oz when the good witch transforms herseld and floats away. It wasn't particularly bright, but it wasn't a flat orange either. I guess it kinda looked like how fire looks from 20 feet away: bright but not close to the point of burning your eyes. To this day it still baffles me, and everytime I recall it I wonder more and more whether or not it really happened. I don't think my mom remembers. At this point it's been relegated to a legend that I tell others when discussing the supernatural. The world truly is a bizarre and mysterious place. Glad to hear other accounts though. Never doubt your eyes, senses, or memory.

    The lightest they make this line is a 5wt. i would usually use a 3 or 4wt rod for bluegill. If you are using a 5 for fish that size, I don't think you would need such an aggressive tapered line.

I have a Shimano SideStab 1000 I was going to trash because it was slam closing almost every other cast. I was losing baits, bobbers and hooks left and right. Went out the very next day after seeing your video and not 1, not 1 slam closing and it actually casted further and more fluidly too. You're a life save man!!!

    Thank you for the stuff at the end. I finally as an adult got me a spinning reel I've always wanted while growing up n seeing em. And I got it and quickly realized i had no idea how to use this. I watched a couple vids and got to it and quickly had my line tangling and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Frustrated and unable to cast I went home and watched many more videos trying to spot what I did wrong. You're video is the only one I seen that explained to stop it with ur finger so that doesn't happen. So THANK YOU so much for that. Now ima hopefully fix my line and try again and hopefully do much better Thank you

    Hello, I have a question for you after looking at several of your videos. I have been fly fishing for several years, but have never been able to get my fly line to do all the things guys like you, who know what they are doing can do. I can get my line out, more or less to where I think the fish will be, strip it in and repeat. This has worked for me and I have caught lots of perch, bass, blue gill, some reds and even speckled trout (blind casting to structure). However, I would like to come make a redfish trip with you for tailing redfish, and go on some float trips out west in drift boats. Being honest with myself, I do not have the accuracy, distance, or even as you pointed out the speed to get my line to a dinner plate size target 40-60' feet away in only two false casts. This is my question: Do you have an order in which you recommend to your students/clients that they work through your videos to become proficient in casting with the accuracy, speed and distance needed for one of your redfish charters? There are lots of videos on the channel. I started with the basic forward cast and roll cast video on your website, trying to imitate what I see you do. However, I can see you have lots of additional videos on the channel that add to what is said on your website videos. It is a lot to digest. I am hoping to make a trip out to your area this Fall, but I am worried I will be working on things that may not be particularly useful on one of your guided trips. I have a 3wt travel, 5wt St. Croix Imperial, 6wt TFO, and 8wt TFO rod I can practice with. Most of my fishing is done with the 3 and 5wt rods. Thanks

    This video and my 3 step method - kzread.info/dash/bejne/q4etmLVrh6iYmMY.html can be used to learn the basic stroke. If you want to be able to cast farther and with more accuracy, tight loops and proper line speed are most important. I recommend learning when and how to properly use the wrist - kzread.info/dash/bejne/eJimlrCQfdXHhag.html, line speed - kzread.info/dash/bejne/q6NtsamHZqa4eJM.html, accuracy - kzread.info/dash/bejne/fIyuu9ireqqooKQ.html, and then distance - kzread.info/dash/bejne/n46g2rGPf9OxmZc.html, kzread.info/dash/bejne/goR807Ojqsq-Z84.html If things do not seem to be working, it is likely one of the issues in my Common Fly Casting Problems playlist is causing an issue. When everything is put together properly, you will want to be able to do all the things described in this video - kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZaqGlJmcpdmbZLA.html If you cannot seem to get it to work, I do offer video analysis to identify and correct issues - www.orlandoflycasting.com/video-casting-analysis.html

    Enjoyed the first video, this was even clearer. Great job. I am going to look at more of your video specifically related to Redfish. I was surprised to hear you say in your first video that you had a 10' leader. Would like more on that, with larger saltwater flies it seems to me a 10' leader would be harder to control and land accurately, which I know you think is critical to success for tailing Redfish. Looking forward to seeing your other videos, hope to schedule a trip with you in the future.

  • @CaptChrisMyers
    @CaptChrisMyersАй бұрын

    I would not recommend anything shorter than a 9" leader with the floating lines we use. If constructed properly, and cast with tight loops, they will lay on perfectly. If the leader gets too short, the fish may spook from the flyline landing too close to them. I know anglers who routinely use 12ft leaders.
