Fishing Report -- 02-06-13

David and Kathy were in town and only had a small window of opportunity to go fishing. Fortunately for them the weather worked out to be perfect for the morning they had available. Catching fish for David on fly was the primary mission. We started by using a sinking line to try get some Amberjacks. David did hook one but unfortunately the hook pulled and we were not able to get another hooked up. We even had Kathy dropping the jig to get them biting but they didn’t even want to eat that. Kathy did manage to catch a small Grouper on the jig though. We gave up on the AJ’s and headed to the beach. We were welcomed by a giant school of Spanish Mackerel. The water was crystal clear and only about 10 feet deep which means that we could see them flashing and just milling around, quite a special sight to see, especially if you have a fly rod in your hand. David is a good fly fisherman and went to town on them. I lost count on how many he landed. Mixed in with the Spanish Mackerel David also landed a decent size Bluefish and a decent size Jack. Kathy also got into the action with some Spanish Mackerel on the jig. We were hoping to get some sharks interested in the fly however there were only a few around where we were and we didn’t have the time to make a long run to find them. They are running a little late this year and seem to be a bit more scattered than usual. Nonetheless David got to catch all the fish he wanted on fly in picture perfect conditions, can’t complain about that. Only regret is that we didn’t take a lot of pictures, only this one of probably the smallest Mackerel.
