Nice video I did not even know that threshers were in that area. But saying it's hunting and playing that music makes these out to be more dangerous than they are.

Superb saltwater fly fishing video. Only suggestion is in conditions like those in the film I try to cast up current almost parallel to the shore while standing in the wash. You are correct about no need to cast far and short leaders work better than longer ones. What you taught me is to not constantly relieve. The tactical angler clip is interesting. I have to try it. Thanks

Have you tried fishing Murrells Inlet from the north end of Huntington Beach State Park? That's a pretty decent place to throw a fly. Depending on the tide there's a lot of ground to be covered wading, and I was there a few weeks ago. There were tons of fish feeding the flats area at slack/near low tide. Had a lot of fish follow my deceiver but only managed to hook up a flounder. If I'd had a better stocked fly box I think it would've been a much better outing.

@@pheasanttales7607 Use the northern most parking/beach access, and it's still a nice little walk up to the jetty and inlet, so pack some snacks! A floating line is probably fine unless the tide is low enough and you want to try and wade/cast to the main channel, then you'll need an intermediate sink.

Nice video. Good info on your technique. I can use some of these methods when flyfishing from the beach for snook where I live in Puerto Rico. Question: Are you able to see the fish and/or takes, or are you fishing totally blind?

I have fished this way on the Gulf beaches around Destin and Pensacola and if I'm able to get out before the waves begin to build and the clueless tourists being walking down the beaches, completely ignoring everything around them, I have had some great success with 9 and 10 wt rods and chartruese clousers on Pompano and Red Fish, Skipjacks and an occasional big something that breaks my line before I can get an eye on it. I have also used Spey and Switch rods when surf conditions don't prevent you from creating a good D loop but most of the time it's a tough proposition, at least it was for me. The waves alongs these beaches are very often large, strong and fast so it is difficult, more often than not, to be able to manage lines while fly fishing in that surf. I believe that the use of a Pyramid Lake style fishing ladder of 6-8' in height would be a the best way to fish the surf along the Gulf's beaches but I am an old man now with some health issues that positively prevent me from fishing the salt any longer.

Can I ask so your on the east coast ? I’m from Australia and get to LA a bit for work. Is it similar conditions and flies ? Great video and explanations. One other thing is your not in the water much is that due to the fish close in ? I typed this too early and saw the fish was practically at your feet. Crikey. Awesome. As I normally when in the surf in Australia I’m in a bit to get out in the gutters which normally hold the fish. But that is here in Oz.

Super calm conditions mean I usually don’t need to get wet. Moon tides & big swells mean I’m def getting wet in the pursuit of keeping my fly still up front (on the beach lip). I dance with the breaking waves in order to do so, so I’m usually getting soaked in order to catch stripers. I’m on the east coast, in New York. West Coast (at least in the south) typically has bigger swells. If I fished there, I imagine I’d regularly get wet while trying to accomplish this approach. I would definitely use the same crab fly (Holy Moley, which is a mole crab imitation). Clouser minnow is pretty much a universal fly, so I’d definitely give that a go too. I reckon the beach lip baits are similar in most places in the USA: Crustaceans and small baitfish. Hope you catch em up in LA! Glad you enjoyed the video.

In comparison with west coast, this surf looks like a lake. In west coast we use two handed rods and cast way longer. You cannot just let the fly hang out; the surface is too turbulent.

Commercial fishing lands millions of lbs of striped bass, yet you worry about 1 fish spawning? Why torture the fish with hooking it if you're not gonna keep it?

Oh hell yeah. What weight do u recommend for something like that bass?

@SouthForkSalt Жыл бұрын

I’d say at least a 9 weight. You want some backbone so the fight doesn’t last too long. Fight can be very tough at the end with anything less than a 9.
