Best Fish on Fly Rod in the Sea.

Postby jack01986 » Fri Dec 15, 2006 6:15 pm

My best fish was a five pound Pollack caught this summer on one of my own flys. I also lost a big fish that broke my 15lb leader. :shock:

Very nice fish thats a big pollack from the shore. The mackeral are crazy had some tail walking as well. Was out in a boat two years ago and you could see a shoal of mackeral very close to the surface smashing into a bait ball think they were sprats, they have some serious speed.

sell my body to science is my best bet, ah there not that expensive tho, only 900e. i did have a sage xi2 for a while last summer but my godfather took it back to the states with him. the cross current is still a nicer rod to cast with.

I don't know what she weighed. Hopefully she's still hunting around out there putting on a few more pounds for next year.
