Fly Fishing Surf Report 9/25

I fished the Deal surf today from 6:00am til about 7:15am. Light SW breeze and a few snapper blues in the wash chasing rainfish. I had no hits or misses.


I saw quite a few people fishing. A couple of other fly rodders including Colin and Al. Al had a small blue on a popper and I heard one angler had a small bass.
Nice morning.

Surf Fly Fishing Report 9/23 Got 'em!!



Surf Fly Fishing Report 9/23 Got 'em!!


Fished the Deal surf again today with my fly rod. As usual this time of year I was using a 2/0 snake fly that I had tied.
I fished 6:00am to 7:15am on the out going tide and the wind was from the west at around 10. The water was slightly off color from the runoff and rain we had.
I hooked into a fish around 7:00am after working the stretch and seeing a little bait. It was a strong fish and several times it took line quickly that resulted in bruised knuckles.



Anyway, nice to be out there. These fish are right in the wash. You don't have to cast far....

Surf Fly Fishing Report 9/13 Day 4


Fly fished again this morning at the usual spot. Beautiful morning again and there was life in the area. Had one fish on but lost it after 2 seconds.


Calm conditions seemed to make the fish a little spooky. I was hoping for the light NE that was predicted yesterday.
Saw Collin on the beach as well. He was headed up for some little tunny. Best of luck with the speedsters!

Looking forward to some cooler weather.

Surf Fly Fishing Report 9/12 Got 'em


Fished the Deal surf again this morning...Wow 3 days in a row! I give Al credit for going every morning at 89 years young.


In any event, I fished from 6:00am to 7:00am and wound up with another short 24" Striper. As usual I was using a snake fly and the fish hit right in the wash.

It was a beautiful morning and the swell has subsided. Mullet and rain fish in the wash being chased by small bass and blues. Further out were some bunker schools and dophin.

The Real Deal Snake Fly Report 9/10


Hit the surf today at 5:30am. Fished with the fly rod for bass in the wash. It was a beautiful morning with a light breeze out of the north. Nice white water from the swell and an outgoing tide. I fished a 2/0 snake fly on my 11wt with 12wt line.




On the third cast I was hooked up and landed a nice fat feisty 25 incher.

Not a bad way to start the day. Also good to see Al down there this am!
