This is the first sheepshead that I have caught with a fly. The fly I used is the Beach Bug. |

|
Beach Bug and Skipjack |
|
Well ladyfish or skipjacks will attach most anything. The beach bug seems to work on them also. |

Lonely Redfish |

While casting to sheepshead with an MDF, I came across what I thought was a long sheepshead. I turned out to be this great 26 inch redfish. |

Brad with Seatrout |
|
This seatrout gave Brad a good fight. I think this is his first seatrout that he has landed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Brad Showing his Casting Form |
|
He had a tree behind him that he avoided trying to snag. I snagged it a few times that night. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Firm and Delicate Fight |
|
Seatrout have paper-thin membranes that require a soft touch for a successful landing. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Brad's First Hooked and Landed Fly |

You have to break the ice sometime. This would be a trophy on some high mountain trout stream. The feeling is just as great at sea level. |

20 Inch Seatrout and Spoon Fly |
|
A pass with this spoon fly about a foot away seduced this trout to bite. It was quickly photographed and released. |

|
March Night Seatrout |
|
They call these fish seatrout, but they are really weakfish because of their delicate membranous mouth parts. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
March Red 2008 |
|
This guy must have been hungry. He had almost digested all of the crabs he had in his stomach and I guess he thought the spoon fly was another crunchy meal. |
