Gulf Of Mexico Fishing - Part 1

It was time to get the trusty saltwater fly rod out and see what we could catch, the beach is now alot quieter after the weekend people have left so it's much easier and safer.

Morning couple of hours produced a couple of small Jacks but saw a couple of Tarpon & Cobia cruise by but they weren't interested in the fly, infact they just didn't look interested at all.

Evening saw a dramatic weather change. From now breeze and clear blue skies, it was a wind shift in 3 directions in a matter of an hour. The blue skies had been replaced with black clouds and the odd clap of thunder in the distance. Need to keep an eye open for any lightening, if that's about them I'm off.
The clouds blew through and no sign of rain or storm, it was really strange but more importantly the fish were in the mood.

First was a Blue fish of about 2.5lb fought fairly hard. Then came a shoal of Jacks and they really do fight on a fly rod.

 

 

Lady fish soon appeared as well, great sport they are so acrobatic you loose more than you land due to them thowing the hook when in the air. Spanish Mackeral made a very brief appearance and this was a first on the fly for me
