Deal Surf Report 10/8 Fly Rod Bass!!


Well it was another beautiful morning at the Deal surf today.
I fly fished with my friend Adam today in Deal from 6:15am to 7:45am. We hit the surf and started throwing White snake flies. Adam quickly switched over to a Chartreuse Half and Half (pictured) since he had no hits on the snake fly.
Shortly after he hooked and landed a 26 incher on that fly. I stuck with the snake fly and got "skunked"
We did see a lot of life today. Upon our arrival we saw a Black Bellied Plover, a Peregrine Falcon capturing a bird only to lose it to a persistent Gull.(Adam is an avid birder and alerted me to the event).

We also saw lots of bait in the wash and many pods of Bottle nose dolphins that were jumping and milling not too far from shore.
