Hi ya FLYFISHING MD,

Flying from the yak! That sounds like a lot of fun!
Very impressive Spotie numbers Sir!

SP Dan <"))><

Very nice! What pattern is that in the last pic of the spottie, the one just above the burger? It looks a lot like Doug's Ghost Minnow, but in a different color.

and nothing beats a hearty meal like that after a day of fishing:Big Grin:
Thanks for the report!

Now "THAT'S" What I'm talking about right there !

I mean the Nessy Burger......Not the spotties....LOL

That burger looks like a good old fashioned home made burger for sure. I've never heard of the Nessy burger before.
As for the spotties......

Awesome slayage on the Yak. Quite an accomplishment and you must have been all smiles during the session. That's a really nice assortment of flies you have there as well. What weight rod do you use? Do you use a sinking line or a floating line?
Any way you look at it .... It's a lot of work but I can't think of a grumpier species to pursue in a harbor/bay enviroment. Even little thumb sucking spotties can put up quite a fuss on lighter gear.

Thanks for the inspiring report. Keep up the good work out there!

[one long cast]

nice clear close ups on the spotties

[bachiboy]

Very cool report and picts Doc FF! Must have been a blast on the whippin stick.

Thanks for sharing!

i used a 8w sage rod with 350g sinking line.....

[FLYFISHING MD]

we should have a fly's only tournament for bass at the san diego big bay ......any thoughts on that????????????? and thanks guys i have a blast every time i go to that bay ....

[auntrout]

Thanks for the report. Guess I need to gear up for salt water fly fishing; only have 4 and 5 wt rods now.

[Jaysuuun]

Nice work! Fly fishers make it look so easy. I bought an 8wt fly rod years ago for the surf, but it was just a disaster every time I went out. I definitely would like to give fly fishing another shot someday.

[bassfishing24/7]

Thanks for the spottie porn!

[Big Jess]

Great report, thats a nice collection of flies you have there. Im just starting to take an interest in fishing the fly for the salty bass.

Flyfishing MD, what weight rod and line would you recomend for fishing spotties?

Thanks in advance,

Tight lines!
