Killer video! Going to be visiting the Miami area and then Siesta Key for a few days as well in February. Hoping to get into some fun on my 8 wt. Are you generally strip setting for fish like this? Im used to trout in Colorado and generally am setting with the rod unless Im working pike. Definitely gave me confidence in getting onto the beach for some early morning fun!
Best video I've seen that shows just how to fish for Snook from the beach! One question though, was this vid made in April? Heading down mid February and curious as to what difference there may be in the beach fishing. (I'm a fresh water type, not familiar with Gulf Coast Florida)
Thanks for watching/commenting. Great question. April was the time of year I recorded the video. However, summer is even a better time to target snook from the beach if you are ever able to fish for them then.
Hey man I loved the video! I love how informative you are as you fish. I had a question, why wear the gloves? I’ve seen a lot of people wear gloves while fishing. I’ve been fishing my whole life and I’ve never used them. I was curious about the advantages. Thanks!🤙
Thanks for watching! I regularly wear gloves because the bright sun can burn the skin on my hands after a few hours. Also, while handling the tails of jacks and other fish, gloves can protect again getting cut! Good luck out there!
Great video. Excellent fishing. I’m new to this SW FL area and am learning the saltwater fishing from my years of freshwater experience. I did a small amount of fly fishing streams and creeks before moving to FL and learned a ton from your video here that I can apply to my lightweight spin fishing I do here. One question. On your leader are you using straight 25 pound or are you using a tapered leader with 25 pound tippet? I realize this is an older video but I’m hoping you receive this notification. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge here. P.S. Is the fluoro use use regular line or leader line and is there enough difference to justify the tremendous price difference?
Great informative video looking forward to putting some of those tips into practice in Sanibel staying for a month in October thought 6 weight a little light for some bigger Snook and Reds. I have 6/8/9/and 10 weight outfits traveling from the UK please could you advise the best choice I will be fishing the shore mainly but hoping to get on the grass flats
Great morning of beach fly fishing! I'm up near Cocoa Beach, and wish our beach was this calm. Question: what are you using for your fly line management?
Great question: I should be doing more, honestly, since the waves create a constant tangle by my feet as I do not use a stripping basket. However, I tend to move along the beach in the opposite direction of the tide which keeps the line all in front or behind me.
Great video bruh. Couple tips I would offer are keep your rod tip closer to the water, strip strike instead trout setting by raising the rod tip, and, bump up to a decent 8wt. You'll thank me later when a 70# tarpon yeets your 6wt into oblivion. You will be testing that warranty fo' sho'!!! Lol
@@FishTails raising the rod tip in saltwater in Florida is never a great idea, unless you like broken rods. Always keep the tip kinda low and.use your stripping hand to drive the steel home. With tarpon, you may have to do that several times, they have ultra hard mouths
@@thomascurry886 i didnt end up fly fishing at all. I left the fly rod and brought my spinning and used live shrimp! Was getting bites every cast! No snook tho! Lots of jack, catfish, seatrout. Fun time but i def suggest to get out with the flyrod

love the artic blue long sleeve shirt. adding it to my christmas list
Great video! I enjoyed it. One tip, you definitely should support a snook by the body, not just the lip, to avoid injuring the fish.
Not only is this filled with excitement but I love the educational parts as well such well done videos
I think Snook and Pomps are my favorite fish on the fly at the beach!!! So much fun.
I totally agree! Keep catchin'em'
I have never been fly fishing but you made it look fun
Who in the world would thumbs down this???? What a winner
I really like this video and all of the different species you're catching. I'm getting ready so get into saltwater fishing and of course flyfishing.

Basically you use basically too basically too much. Great video and great treatise on the flies and techniques to use.
I've fly fished small creeks for trout but this looks like way more fun.
Sweet video!!!
Surf fishing is fun! I wanna try it some day!
Wow I want to try this
That was an awesome video. Thanks for shearing. Do we have that kind of fish around Charlotte?
is it better on an incoming or outgoing tide?
I have caught them during all different tide situations, but I prefer incoming. Good luck!

Hope to have same fun doing It in Mediterranean Sea in Italy .
See you👍🏼🎣
Nice video! I will be on Anna Maria Island next week - will the snook be close to shore?
Thanks! I am currently catching snook 2 feet from shore in Naples, FL, so I am sure they will be close to shore by you as well. Good luck!

Thanks for the comments/compliments! Straight 25lb fluoro works great for me. I prefer Gold Label Seaguar as the diameter is the thinnest.
@@FishTailsThank you so much.

6-10wt is a good range. You can choose a heavier option on windier days when you need heavier line or when you decide to use bigger flies. Good luck!
great video very helpful
Perfect timing: going to Sanibel island mid March and hope to annoy fish with my fly rod. Do you worry about sting rays?
Thanks
Awesome! Enjoy your time down there. I will be down again next month. Sting rays have not been an issue for me. Good luck!

How deep of water are you fishing? Heading to FL in 2 weeks, would love to give some surf fly fishing a shot.
1-3 feet. Thanks for watching and good luck!
Trout set instead of strip set?
Hi there. Ever use deceivers on that beach? Nice video by the way
I haven't personally, but the weightless presentation would be perfect for the shallow water. Good luck
The part of Florida I visit is too far north for snook. Does this work with other species or are they generally further out?
I find this works for the areas I fished in the southern half of Florida.
I'm planning on going to fort Lauderdale area soon is that a good area for snook?
Im sorry i prob missed you say, where in florida is this?
SW FL near Naples. Good luck out there!
@@FishTails appreciate it!

What beach u are you
What size fly?
Size 4. Should have included that in the video. Thanks!
Going to marco soon looking to do some fly fishing on tigertail, would a 5 weight work or should i look for something heavier?
I personally wouldn't use anything less than a fast action saltwater
six weight. Good luck
Did you have any luck in Marco?

If you strip set you won't rip it out of the zone.
Great point! Some habits die hard. Thanks for watching!
WasSup
I would cringe using a 6 wt flyrod in the surf but if you know what youre doing i guess a 6 wt would do just fine
The reel Ur using it's an Orvis!!! Piscifun it's a toy....
The Orvis Mirage is great. However, as reviewed on a previous video of mine, the Piscifun Platte (for
Ovis reels are overpriced
That was a pompano not a jack.
I think that last fish was a permit- the hardest fish to catch on a fly rod
Definitely a pompano
@@markcole3204 yup
I'm not entirely sure but the tall forehead makes me think permit...
