Fly Fishing Florida: Beach Fishing!

- Fly Fishing the beach in SW Florida. This is my 1st time getting to use my new Echo Boost Salt 7wt fly rod - got some fish and I am loving it. If you haven't given fly fishing a try... you are missing out!
I had a blast getting out and learning how to fish the beach.
If you are in the market for a new fly rod - check out the Echo Boost Salt - 239flies.com/collections/rods...
Although I am not new to saltwater fishing, I am new to fly fishing in the salt. Fly fishing Florida is way different than fly fishing Ohio and has humbled me! I am missing the easy floats down the river when it hits 90! These video's are my journey of learning how to find fish, what to throw, and when to fish. Join me!

I had to re watch this video it's pretty cool. I'm here on vacation from Idaho and I brought a small trout rod with me (too small!).. so far I've caught a few fish in the surf and tomorrow I'll be in Clearwater. Should be fun.
Thanks man. Haha I feel your pain! I started out with a 5 weight. This video is actually the first time using my 7 weight Echo Boost. Good luck tomorrow!
@@yakinseabass4518 Ha! Great.. I'll get through the day... hopefully I don't catch something gigantic.
@@yakinseabass4518 Today we went to the South part of Clearwater and I got into some Lady fish just like your video. I'll have the video up most likely by this Sunday.
@@robbiesflytyingchannel hell yea man. Can't wait to see it!
My brother and I began wet wade fly fishing the beaches of NW Florida around 20 years ago. Finding perfect conditions is the hardest part of it so we persisted but shortly spaced rolling waves make it pretty tough if not impossible. But, on those calm mornings when you're out there by yourselves fly fishing the surf is a fantastic sport. I developed some health issues a few years ago that have put the smack down on my ability to take the beatings that the salt water will certainly dish out but the rewards are certainly there if you can hack it. Stay safe.
Always convenient when you get the fish out of the water, take a good look at it, and it unhooks itself. Ladyfish are among the best fish to catch for sport
haha can't beat it a quick release!
Really Awesome! Felt like I had a vacation for a little while . Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool video!
Thank is awesome brother
That wat I’m planning to do bro for pompano season this year.. good job
Nice. I'm still working on my first pampano. Any suggestions?
@@yakinseabass4518 I never use fly fishing on the surf yet .. I’m just learning and me and buddy planing fly fishing on the surf in about 3 more weeks when pompano show up
Ive lived in Alaska for about 12 years and did a lotta fly fishing there. I just recently moved to south Florida on the east coast and I’m looking forward to fly fishing here ! Great video !
Congratulations on the move! You're going to love it.
@@yakinseabass4518 thank you!
Muito show!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nice video.
Very nice video. The guys at 239 Flies are a solid group. Highly recommend. I usually fly fish the beaches around Naples in June(been doing it for 20 years) for snook.Snook are coming out of the passes starting around May. Sure it's the same up there at that time. Incredible to sight fish for them. Look forward to seeing more of your videos. Good luck and if I can flatten your learning curve on fly fishing the beach let me know. Regards
Thanks. Nothing but good things to say about 239 Flies! I am still getting used to the timings for fishing the beach, but I think it would be about the same time frame as Naples. I have a lot to learn about fly fishing the beach, so any tips you have for beach snook I will gladly listen! Thanks again.
@@yakinseabass4518 4 most important things about fishing for snook on the beach-wind, tide, water clarity and sun. Gulf coast you want an east wind and just the opposite on the Atlantic side (this flattens out the surf). Fish the tide during moving water. A good general rule is 2 hours before and after high tide. I used to worry about it but now I don't worry as much because the snook are either there or not (I'm sight fishing). Since I'm sight fishing water clarity and sun light are extremely important. Can't cast to them if you can't see them. As for flies: In clear water any white baitfish pattern in size 2 or 4. Norm's Crystal Schminnow, Squibbster, DT Special all in white are good starting points. If you like to tie flies these are easy and effective. Last year I switched to the game changer fly and caught more snook than I can remember but they are pricey. In tinted water switch to a darker fly like a deceiver or even darker versions of the previous flies. If the snook are a bit deeper then clousers are in play with either lead or bead chain eyes. Strategy: Try to resist getting in the water. Keep your feet on the sand! The snook are right on the beach. And when I say right on the beach I mean right on the beach. Right in that first trough out to about 30 feet. Walk down the beach looking for movement and color. The males run in packs and are easier to catch just put the fly 3 feet in front and strip away from them. The big females are more solo and are harder to get to eat but use the same tactics. I use 9' leader with #25-30 bite tippet with floating or sink tip line. 7, 8 or 9 weight works. Gear doesn't have to be fancy because the fish don't know what you are using. Hope this helps flatten out your learning curve a bit. Just trying to pay it forward a bit so if you have any questions just let me know and we can figure it out since it's not an exact science. Regards
@@markzirkle968 thank you for the advice!
Look into a striping basket will help alot
It is high on my list!
Parece que vc está com equipamento #8 e vara rápida? Imagino essas ubaranas com equipamento #5 e vara de fibra de vidro! Deve ser emoção purinha!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ae least being on the Sandbar you have a 360 view and cast on your fly's do you break the barb on the hook? I do for safety reason. You can use fishing line to repair the net.
Have you gotten a line bucket yet? There seems to be a purpose for it with this fishing style
Nope. That’s the only time I have gone beach fishing exclusively.. usually fishing out of my kayak, which probably needs one as well come to think of it 😅
I've never broken a rod (Thank god)
That sounds rough, man. New rod is looking good though.
So wade to first sandbar and cast behind and parallel? Gotta remember that. I'll be doing the same thing next month.
Yessir! I like to get out to the first sandbar so that if there's no action on the inside cut I can just wade to the outside and fish toward the gulf. Hell yea man good luck!
Keep rod pointed at the fly and strip set. But regardless what you do, ladyfish will fall off lots of times. Crazy fish. Here in china where i live there are few spots with average lady of some 60cm... One meter fish are very probable too.
As an advise...Set the hook with the line, not the rod....Good luck!!
Hard habit to break haha
Yakin Seabass something like retraining your left hand to do the cranking after years of doing it wrong, with your right hand.
What kind of Fly Line were you using? I fly fish Col/WYO and am going to bring my 7wt, but currently have sinking line on it for the rivers out west
Nice. Welcome! I am using floating line. If you're going to be fishing the beach you'll probably be stripping fast enough for sinking to be fine. If you're planning on hitting the flats its worth getting floating line IMO.
How do you like the boost so far? I have two trips to the gulf coming up and was looking at going that route in an 8wt, you still happy with 7?
I am loving the boost, but I will say that I probably should have gone for an 8wt or even 9wt for a better all purpose rod. Good luck on your upcoming trips!
@@yakinseabass4518 thanks man!
How do you protect your finger from line burn I’m kindove knew and it looks like it could hert
You can buy finger strip guards on amazon for pretty cheap. Before I found out about the strip guards I used cohesive bandages - honestly I like the bandage better
You need to let them run after Hook Up.
Also if it’s Snook they have soft mouths.
Let em Run.
These are just some lady fish so no need to let the run. I am editing a beach snook video tho. Stay tuned!
it doesn't count if you keep the plastic on the cork!
Took it off halfway through 😉
Pobres pecesitos!!
Tiene que mejorar el dominio de lanzado x manejo de la linea..
take the plastic off your rod
Nah i like to keep it on. Just like the stickers on my hats 🧢
