  • I flew down to Florida to meet up with my buddy Carter for a week of snook fishing. Our main goal was to catch a snook from the beach. We constantly battled the weather and tides, giving our best effort to explore the area in search of fish.

    I just realized this is in my backyard! I recognize about 90% of the spots you were fishing, I think I will have to fish them harder lol. Keep up the great work can't wait to see the sequel🤙

    I was in Atlanta for a while in early 90’s and the first thing I did was look for a flyshop and found the FishHawk in Buckhead ! My first Loomis flyrod was from there in the IMX ! At that time I think Loomis were the pioneers in high end graphite rods!

    Florida's fishing is completely underrated. The Snook go out on the beaches on both coasts in the summer.

    great video. snook breed during the summer months on the beach during moon phase. small guys chasing big girls around. Clousers are an important part of beach fishing. Quality fish are caught b/f daybreak ~ Juno pier, beach inlets, etc.

    • @PhelpsontheFly
      @PhelpsontheFly  ปีที่แล้ว

      We initially were fishing smaller baitfish patterns (pretty much all just EP minnows and deceivers) then started sizing up for the bigger fish. The big girls didn't seem to be interested in smaller flies we were throwing but the smaller snook hammered them.

  • @matthewsadler5458
    @matthewsadler5458 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wait, were you guys fly fishing? You kept saying snook on the fly, but I still wasn’t sure. Small fish are easy.

  • @EeRock507

    Gulf coast Tampa to the keys has better snook fishing and more easily accessible water. Give the Bay Area a shot next time. We don’t get the mullet run but a lot of fish
