Thread: New Fly and Improving Beach Snook (with pics)

We've had west wind and waves crashing on the beach now for three weeks. But when I too the dog out for a walk this morning, there was no wind. So, I headed for the beach.

I fished Manasota Key and did really good. I tied up a new fly and want to test it. Don't have a name for the fly, yet, but that will come.

Ended up with 21 snook to 28 inches and a Spanish mackerel. I probably saw 300-400 snook in the surf.

The beach geography has changed since the last time I was there and the fish were a little farther out. But they were hungry.

That really looks like fun. Nice catch too. Thanks for sharing the pics.
