End of the Season

This 2020 season was a strange one, just like this year. No bonito in sight yesterday, but the weather was summer-like. Keeping fingers crossed for the 2021!

Red Tide Sucks (part 2)

The water had slightly better clarity today, but you had to find a certain depth which held fish, to be able to sight-cast. Good amounts of striped bass in a small area, close to deeper water. They refused standard green crab and shrimp flies, but took a small white Shminnow.

Hard to beat a Roku gin martini after a long sight-casting session!

Red Tide Sucks

Flats fishing and coping with the red tide murk and diminished visibility (lots of clouds, very hot and humid weather.) I had to move a lot today to find the cleanest water, trying to change location each time the clouds would pass. Fish are not keying on one single prey, so you need to change flies frequently. Some fish liked crab, and some dab imitation today. No takers on shrimp!
