Switching Things Up - Florida Surf Fly Fishing for Snook

[@burblah_worm939]

Love to see you fly fishing! I exclusively fly fish but this is such a great channel idc it’s mostly conventional fishing! I would recommend using a perfection loop to connect the leader to fly line, that way you don’t have to cut fly line off when you want to change your leader.

[@dicksonsmith2702]

Thanks so much for picking up the fly rod and going after Snook. I'll be in Florida in May and I'm definitely going to give it a try. It will be a great change from trout here in the west.

[@johnsmith-em2wp]

Jupiter, FL here....wanna trade houses for a week? ;)

[@unfitgamer1642]

funny seeing northerners want what we have for fishing and we want what y’all have lol!

[@michaelcohen2345]

Gettin them on the fly adds that extra sick factor🔥

[@christopherraymond7848]

Ooooo, love how you switched it up this time with the Fly rod. I’ll have to try that some time in the water near me. Great video! Keep up the great work! Fish on 🎣

[@303bayard8]

Great to see the fly out there. Very cool with the drone. FYI maybe rather than albright directly to the fly line, go with 20lb line to fly line witha nail knot to end of fly line, Then put a perfection loop at end of 20lb line. Perfection loop to loop for the leader.

[@cjmouring6242]

The fly rod content is awesome love to see some redfish on the fly!!

[@kevinjtoner]

Loved the fly rod! And a 4.70 bass on a 3 wt.!!! Had to be a blast…….Thank you 👍🎣

[@tombrennan163]

Great work on the flyrod !

[@robertalvarez9314]

love the content and bringing in the fly rod now! I would like to mention setting the hook on the fly, I hear it is better to STRIP HARD to set the hook instead of what you regularly do to set the hook on regular rods since they bend to much...

[@bigron8346]

You are so right it's called strip setting.

[@matthewbazerkomccusker74]

Really pretty clean lookn snook . Like seeing there fins all green like that healthy fish 👍

[@javicruzito]

HUGEEE trout set at 11:00 😂😂😂😂😂

[@dylanlageman8566]

Tremendous! More fly rod content please 🙏🙏🙏

[@horationelson3823]

Yes. Fish on the fly is the way to go

[@geoffcaptaincpaige1167]

Another good one Rich. You don't look like you're 6' 3" tall. Deceptive. I'm 6' 1" but stockier in build to yiu. Tight lines bro from the UK.

[@spk7816]

yes and amen...good job

[@davecosgrove8787]

It took me 4 trips out to get my first snook on the fly, off the beach. It was 32" though, so worth the effort.

[@bigron8346]

Great to see you fly fishing again!!

[@mttech1995]

Great to see the fly rod in use!! I'd love to see an episode where you throw the fly for reds and trout!!

[@korean_foot_traveler8655]

The beautiful scenery and the awesome fishing skill make me surprised.😀👍👍

[@BIGYAKRFISHING]

Love what you did with the drone at the end catching that pig of a bass with the 360 view. You continue to kill it man.

[@SurfSkagit]

You have to love Florida, hatchery style fishing, just find the structure and pop a drone up 🎣🎣🎣🎣 love the ✈️footage, thank you for the time and work!!

[@t-bonejones3576]

Awesome man! You found out another good stream trout fishing trick to adspt - resting the pool. In clear water, after you hookup and spook all the others, leave that pool completely alone for 20 minutes or so. You'll often find that the fish forgot about all the ruckus. If one keeps casting right after a hookup.they run they risk of putting the fish off for the rest of the day/tide. Love the shoreline and small craft stuff you do. Your video production shows more proficiency as time goes on as well !

[@fantomphoenix6170]

Hell yea! Love saltwater fly fishing videos because I can’t seem to catch them on a fly in salt.

[@highnoon116]

Did you ever see or hear a one man band? I did in Charleston, SC one evening. Well folks Rich is a one man fishing band! All the excellent video coverage and even using a fly rod …from time to time. I’ve tried some fly rod fishing and it ain’t easy! But Rich makes it all happen and never disappoints! High Noon

[@action-packedadventures4056]

Hey Rich, could you use a uni-to-uni knot for the direct connection of the fly main line to the leader?

[@timothytanner29]

Love the fly content man, just got my first saltwater fly rod here in Charleston pumped to try it

[@chrstinevanee3816]

I did en you this video,thanks

[@ryzr3558]

I like people who use the fly rod because it looks so fun 🤩 wish I had one

[@Beerbatter1962]

Good stuff man. I guess I'm going to have to give the stripping basket another try. I always feel it gets in my way, but maybe that's just a matter of getting used to it. You make the basket look very useful.

[@maximiliansadchikov393]

Awesome Video Rich!! However watching that fly line catching in those rocks was definitely making me cringle lol 😂

[@macbarb12]

When you come back to montauk I would love to link up with you and fish some of the spot you use to fly fish in your very early videos. Or go over to gardners and hit some of those rock structures. Or sight fish sea robins is also a ton of fun

[@BlackSheepDeity]

SH bayside theres a little current like this between a bar, great for fly fishing

[@thomaskitlica5572]

I used to fish boynton inlet in the 70s 80s and early 90s and it was so much better then with the inshore reefs!!!!

[@MedicRNMike]

Yay fly fishing!!!!!

[@TimBigBendFishing]

Loving the fly rod! We want more fly rod! Maybe can we try an inshore slam on the fly??

[@lisaroosa6939]

Love the day you had.

[@PaintedTurtle001]

I hope you make more fly fishing videos. That was nice!

[@redkneeoutdoors]

I love your videos, you stay real and show off your amazing adventures.

[@Gottagetschwifty]

Love this channel, been hooked. Keep it up! Much love from the garden state

[@chuckbixler3570]

Nice to see you dust that Fly Rod off

[@finnfishing3551]

That’s so cool with the fly rod

[@BigDaddyFishingNJ]

I always enjoy your videos. I like seeing both spin and fly. Would like to see more fly action. Top notch gear. I have many Sage rods. Not familiar with islander reel but at that price point should be good. Consider changing fly reel handle to left hand crank. I recomend fly rod tip down inline with fly when stripping. Lift set not from the side initially because you are out of position. To get line off fly reel quickly spread both arms wide to pull line off real quickly. Slap reel on lest side to take up line rapidly ie Jose Wejebe (RIP). Keep up the good work!

[@TheJaymon1962]

Excellent change up!

[@palmstopinesoutdoors9304]

Come up to St. Johns and let's get on some Giant Trout. Always a good video!

[@stevegregg5354]

Great video. That looks like an old sage. Great maybe a rpl or rplx?

[@dombacco2054]

Hey man, I just wanna say that I really enjoy your content and the funny part is in MTK I’ve been to all of your spots😭. Keep up the good content and stay on that grind to catch that state record stripper 😄

[@chatking6969cody]

Hey Man! Sweet video! I just got done fishing that area today.. no snook for us today

[@FishTails]

Fly Fishing snook is my favorite fish to target for fun and when filming my videos too! Don't forget to reach out to me when you are in the Midwest to get out together on my other Hobie kayak while targeting trout and salmon on Lake Michigan!

[@ckwoutdoors]

Heck yeah, that was sick man! If you ever make your way over to explore Northwest Florida, I've got some sweet dock structure spots on the flats where you can sight cast bull reds on the fly from the yak all day long. Big trout, too. Good stuff as always, keep it up. Your videos motivate me to film better and better content, too, and I always learn something new watching you. Thanks for the hard work, dedication, entertainment, and knowlege!

[@birdmannoscpe]

love the fly fishing content

[@ashsahcash]

Hi im hoping to visit sanibel in late april early may do you get tarpon and snook off the beach i like fly fishing all the best Tony

[@SoFlyVA]

Dude that kayak is a staple of the the channel it’s in a bunch of the thumbnails 😆 Did you read “the” twice?

[@FLjuanMatos]

Nice kayak 👌 I'll be fishing hard on the beach this August. Hopefully will catch some snook for my august beach snook video. If you are ever in Miami let me know and I can put you on some bonefish if you're interested

[@novaday8813]

Ah damn, was just about to hit the gym. Now I gotta watch this lol

[@larryh9525]

Cool video. I watched you make the short casts off the rocks and it looks like the line isn't an ideal match for the rod. You needed to make more than a few false casts to get the line out. A line with a shorter, heavier taper would help quite a bit for a short cast. I'd look for a tri-color line from RIO or SA as the color changes will show you the optimal load point. Ideally, all you'd need is one false cast to shoot 40' - 50' of line.

[@jasonparr7910]

Nice vid. This weekend should be on fire in Florida if you can dodge the storms (west coast). Tight lines!

[@erindrello1186]

Love you videos but would love to see more of the fly rod. I fly fish from a Nucanoe and hit the areas you fish regulary.

[@matthewbazerkomccusker74]

They swim sideways in the current and use it to there advantage, you should try big permit in the current :)

[@geologik7500]

Headed into FLL in May and can't wait to throw some flies in the surf and in the canals

[@alexhurtado2572]

Bro that bass catch 👌🏽

[@alexhurtado2572]

I live in fort pierce bro it’s awesome seeing you fish these parts !! Makes me really want to buy a kayak and get out there lol keep it up man these vids are awesome!!

[@JumbleTronChannel]

Parkour!

[@travismoore47]

Are you guiding down there? Avid fly fisherman here in Charleston SC and looking to head that way in the fall.

[@vincentengongoro2705]

the bass was impressive..

[@jparryprodeal]

Are you using a Sage ignitor fly rod? Nice fishing

[@kiansheeler726]

Do you have the fishaholic boat down in florida? I’d love to see some pelagic fish caught as the water warms up

[@johndonovan7334]

Good to see you with the fly rod again. Snook and largemouth, great. Will be moving to Fla. in May or June from east end of Long Island, getting way too crowded out here.

[@richardsqueeze]

Congrats I just got here 2 weeks ago from the hell hole of NJ best thing I ever did so far. If I can offer you any advice it would be to try to do it sooner. Haha good luck.

[@johnsmith-em2wp]

@@richardsqueeze I moved down here 12/2019 right before the covid insanity from the hell hole of Chicagoland. Best thing I ever did, you are gonna love it here. And the fishing is sooo good. My folks retired to Ft. Myers full time, I bought a Jon boat and kept it in storage....that was 7 years ago, been fishing down here a long time and it is top notch. I'm in Jupiter now and I am not going anywhere.

[@DeucesHighFishing]

After using a 10 weight, would you recommend an 8 weight or a 10 weight setup for fishing snook on the beach and inshore? I'm on the fence. Looking to pickup a rig to mostly fly fish the beach this summer.

[@TylerNashan]

For the 4 inch finback shad what size and weight hook do you use rich?

[@jasonw5619]

Great video keep em coming also when you heading back up north?

[@kevinsheffield3689]

Looking to try fly fishing in the saltwater in 24. Any recommendations?

[@chasingtails7416]

Just tie a loop knot for your leader and use the loop to loop connector on the fly line.

[@matthewbazerkomccusker74]

Yeah they’re waiting for bait to come over that sandbar

[@frank00nixon]

Try some more aggressive jerk-strip retrieves to wake up their hunter instinct next time they become passive after seeing the fly several times.

[@BlackSheepDeity]

U should try tying, so many videos to learn from, and when u get the techniques down, u can custamize ur baits to whatever your fishing for and whatever they are feeding on.

[@davidfreedman6717]

Do you cut your fly line every time you tie new leader on that?

[@andrew_from_school3915]

Love your content bro

[@adamsmith3996]

loving the fly rod. id love to see you catch a pompano in the surf on the fly.

[@timcostanzo370]

Hey, sorry if you answered this already but what is that line basket that your wearing and how can I get one

[@jodyhiatt5284]

I have you on the big screen kid - I will buy some merch soon

[@GreenMeanie101]

One thing I am afraid of doing is scratching up my Kayak lol how bad is the bottom of your Kayak after dragging it around for so long?

[@adamsmith3996]

thats like saying i dont drive my car because i dont want my tires to wear

[@hstetser5376]

What inlet is that? Gotta be east coast of Florida

[@jodyhiatt5284]

What’s a good drone for beginners

[@eddymartinez1574]

Dude min 14:47 what is that swinging so fast?

[@Echo4Sierra4160]

I have never fly fished salt water. Something to try

[@Ghost-sz7uo]

when you coming back up north?

[@MarcusCarltonMay]

HOW DID THE DATE GO???

[@musicsbest9290]

am i the only one who noticed the office reference when you were stepping from one rock to another rock?

[@bg_george7176]

Hey man,look on the internet for knots for fly fishing,your knot from fly line to leader is not good,and look for the leaders, it'll be easier if you pit on tapered leader😃

[@Jamesforsythe4566]

What brand is your kayak

[@beefy6922]

what rod combo is that?

[@sparaciooutdoors]

🎣

[@BlackSheepDeity]
