Got one
Got one
Stuck a solid YFC on a clouser this afternoon in MB. Next cast hooked a ripper that pulled 30ft of line out of my hands, put a tad too much pressure and snapped off 8# leader. Been a tough winter for me so happy for this fish. Also first fly outing in months. Cheers to the new site

Re: Got one
Yep. Floating line with a 12ish ft leader. I like using the floating line in shallow bay spots. I gotta hit strouds and refresh my clouser supply. Bought some from Amazon last year and they were poor quality.

Re: Got one
We gotta meet up. I've got so many extra clousers. I tie about 9 for every one I fish.

Re: Got one
I use the same reel on my 6 weight - Show up to Bay Park Fish on Saturday and I'll tie up some for you! We'll be there from 11am to 1 in the back.
Re: Got one
It's a great reel for the price in my opinion. Had mine 2 years now, the drag has been put to the test and is consistent and smooth. Plenty of sand and saltwater exposure, I rinse it well and haven't had any problems or signs of wear/damage. Happy with that purchase.Baja_Traveler wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 5:44 pm I use the same reel on my 6 weight - Show up to Bay Park Fish on Saturday and I'll tie up some for you!

I'd love to come up there one week, I typically work afternoons on Sundays. Next time I get a start time 2pm or later I'll go.
Re: Got one
I'd be down. Currently Mondays and Wednesdays are pretty much my fishing days. Might get into tying this year. Not that I need another hobby lol but would be cool to customize fliesNeuroshima wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 5:09 pmWe gotta meet up. I've got so many extra clousers. I tie about 9 for every one I fish.
Re: Got one
Went out again this afternoon. Got picked up once, no hookup. Before I left, saw some bait scattering and kept casting in the area. As I pulled my fly out of the water, a halibut jumped 3ft out of the water, scared the shit outta me. Tried to find him for another 20 minutes but no dice.

Re: Got one
Haha! Same thing happened to me down in Baja - we were wade fishing an estero and as I raised my fly out of the water a halibut shot out and went over my shoulder! Fun times…

Re: Got one
So cool, I’ve only ever witnessed acrobatic halibut in Baja. Santa Maria bay. Things would cart wheel out of the water on the spook.

Re: Got one
For what it is worth - been trying to catch a carp on the fly - I am getting closer - anyway, hit Henshaw yesterday - the cats were very open to taking a fly - good time
