breambo25 1 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Great fish buster. Love to get an 8wt myself and give saltwater flyfishing a go. :whistle: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hoopsy 697 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 nice fish mate had a fly rod for over 10 years it still hasnt seen the water Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scotty2 0 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Great effort mate, and it is really good to see a salt water fly fishing post on the forum.Looks like a clouser fly you were using, and that fish is pretty solid, would have been a bit of fun on the retrieve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Busterboy 15 Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Certainly was scotty.Tried a silver lure on the normal rod but there was weed everywhere and the wind dropped out so I had a go at the fly rod (casting as far as I was, if not further, with the spinner rod)and the second cast Bang!Did a couple of tail walks for me too:)Not had a fish pull line out of my hand before. Was quite exhilarating I must say. Audacious 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chrisjc 0 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Nice fish mate, were you using an intermediate line there? I am keen to go have a crack while they are are around. I think you have just keened me up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
