Shore Saltwater FLY FISHING - Sea Bass on SHRIMP FLIES

Показать описание

After 55 years of fishing, I have finally taken up Fly Fishing, Saltwater Fly Fishing. I headed to a mark to see if I could catch my first Bass on a fly. Live Shrimp or Prawn is a deadly way to fish for Bass so I decided to try Shrimp Flies at a mark where I know Shrimps/Prawns are definitely on the Bass menu in the hope it may tempt a Bass. In the video, I talk about the Fly Rod, Fly Line, DIY Tapered Leader, and the Shrimp Flies I am using.

Just one comment to say a BIG thank you to those of you with some experience that have taken the time to give me some good advice on saltwater fly fishing. I am just a beginner at this and any constructive advice from experienced fly anglers is very welcomed. This was my first attempt to catch a Bass on the fly although not my first attempt at saltwater fly-fishing this year 2018. I probably made a mistake by targeting Mullet first (Thin Lipped Mullet) with no success YET. However, it gave me a bit of casting practice in a very sheltered location (top of a creek) which was good. No doubt with more practice and experience things will improve and maybe a few more videos in the future.

I do a fair bit of fly fishing, mainly from rock marks, I use a 8# (weight forward) sinking line, straight through 10lb fluorocarbon leader of about 8 Foot, and any white trout lure, cast out, allowing the lure to sink 8 to 10foot before retrieving, and have great success catching Pollock and Bass.

Rob, just a tip, for the sort of fly fishing you are doing the tapered leader is totally unnecessary, a straight forward 8/9 /10 ft leader is all you need with breaking strain to suit, tapered leaders are for delicate presentation and roll over with nymphs and dry flys, all lure type fly are fished straight thru, you will also benefit with the weed problem being solved.I hope this helps, from a fly fisherman of 50 something years.

Hi, first of all, i enjoyed your video, its full of genuine emotion, not like some folks screaming and faking excitement.... the reason i am writing to you is just i want to give u a piece of advice, if i Rod and line, all are ok, but how u assemble it all matters. i mean connection between your line and leader, its too bumpy... easiest way is braided loop connector... but i like to buy lines with welded loop... its smooth. in your case, just make one.... cut the tip of the line by the angle, fold it, super glue it and cover it with wraps of some thin tying thread....secure all with some wader repair glue or any knot glue and thats it... i am lazy so i secure it with superglue, which after couple of months cracks so i have to make another loop. knot glue for example Loon uv knot sense can protect your leader knots too and they will reduce snagging by the weed.

I've watched this video twice now. After the first time, you inspired me to dig out a fly rod that I had somewhere in the garage. Just a really cheap all in set up that I bought from Walmart about 12 years ago. I took it with me a couple of weeks ago & managed to land a couple of small speckled sea trout. Since then I've ordered a 9wt 9' set up. Can't wait to get my hands on it & give it a try. Thanks for all your effort with the great work you post. Cheers Rob.

Great start Rob! As others have said, you don’t really need a tapered leader for this kind of fishing and a braided loop on you fly line will make everything much smoother. When you’re casting, just allow an extra moment on the back cast for the line to load up the rod. It’s the loaded bend in the rod that allows an easy smooth forward cast and will greatly reduce the number of false casts that you need to make.
Although I mostly fly fish for trout in the SW, I’ve fly fished from a small boat several times on the tidal Tamar and had plenty of mackerel, scad and bass. A large mackerel on a light fly rod can be a lot of fun. Keep up the good work!

Hi Rob, you've had some really good constructive comments on this post which I fully agree with, certainly let your back cast straighten more with a positive stop of your rod approximately 1 o'clock position and you'll find your rod will 'load' more and that energy (with the correct timing) will be transferred into your forward cast. Take a look at the many videos on single & double haul techniques, you will increase your line speed and 'loading' of the rod which will help with the wind, particularly narrowing the loop in the forward cast when casting into wind. Also consider a line tray if you're not wading too deep, which prevents your line getting blown away from you and prevents the friction of the water limiting your final 'shooting' of the line. Great stuff Rob and look forward to more fluff chucking success. 😁🐟

Respect 👍. I have often thought about but never brave enough to try. You may have given me a nudge, many thanks for another inspiring video.

Congrats on your first fly caught Bass. Always good to add another method to the arsenal. I had my first ever Sea Bass this year in a drop net intended for crab fishing with the Grandchildren. At about 5 inches long it wasn't a record breaker and I don't know who was most surprised, me or the fish. I had no idea there was Bass there so maybe next time I might try this method for one. Great film. Thanks for sharing.

I watched a video and you mentioned having sufficient line out to make a good cast - when you retrieved close in. A guide told me when fishing close in (stated trout will take right up to the bank) to start with a roll cast, then when the fly is in the air then turn it into your first false cast. This has the benefit of keeping the fly in the water longer and as your rod tip is back for a roll cast you have more line out.
