A few weeks ago i managed to put Adam (Big Ears on this forum) onto a Salmon, i had never caught a Salt Water Bass on the fly, so he returned the favour, many thanks Adam.
We traveled up to the North coast around 50 miles away and met up with his brother, waited for the tide to turn and made our way down (you have to watch the tides, you can be cut off in an instant!) but the day didn't get of to a great start for me, i stumbled and fell, didn't think too much of it until i started fishing, i couldn't figure out why my cork was red, shredded my hand on the razor sharp barnacles
It was hard fishing, unless you could double haul you would have struggled in the strong wind, 5 hours, and we managed 3 bass and 2 mackerel, but it was great fun and i caught mine on a popper tied by Adam.
I caught the Mackerel on one of my flies, so its 2 more species for me to add to the list of fly caught fish, Bone fish in Cuba one day.
Cheers
Richard
