Took my family to the beach, but made sure I had a fly rod with me! The weather was amazing, seeing bonefish swimming along the white sand.
Biscayne Bay is a GEM!

What I like is your fast your fast on the canals you're fast on the flats you get the fly there quickly and repeatedly if necessary. Great stuff!

Demostrando que en un ratito podes tener el bonefish de tu vida a pocos metros de la playa a la que fuiste cin tu familia. A little of fresh air on flyfishing video!...

Found your channel after doing some research on bones in and around Key Biscayne. Planning on going down in October. How is the Sargassum in Mid Oct? Is it a problem? Great flies you tie!

@Eric.Estrada Жыл бұрын

Thanks, man. October is very hit or miss. Not a lot of bones around, they are usually schooled up thick in the bayside, not many fish on the oceanside flats that time of year. But it's always worth a shot. If there's piled up sargasm, work the edges for snook and bonefish.

You gonna have a boat? West Side of the bay can be good in the winter. Or Oceanside too. Most bonefish will be in large schools in January. So it’s tough. You either find 300 bonefish or you don’t see a single fish.

Great vid Eric - thank you. I live in Miami (from UK) and have done OK on the paddleboard for snook on topwater in the bay, but havent really had the confidence to go after bones on the fly... this definitely has me motivated! I dont have an 8 weight currently, so my choices are 6 weight or 10.... what do you think...? Shrimp and crab fly patterns a good bet? Thanks dude!

@Eric.Estrada Жыл бұрын

haha, glad you're motivated! Either will work, I would lean towards the 6wt if you have a quality reel on it with a lot of backing. Otherwise the 10wt for sure. Shrimp or Crab are good, I have another video on my goto fly for bonefish if you dig through my channel.

@chrissewell1608 Жыл бұрын

Take the 6 weight, and you'll do okay. Just cast with the wind behind you, to carry your line!

@@Eric.Estrada yes, I found it after I sent the comment. Question for you… I am a newbie and would be fishing in Clearwater vicinity and would most likely be just surf fishing, have you ever used a fiberglass rod? Some say this is a better rod to use as a beginner. Now I’m hooked between echo badass and the renegade 😊

@Eric.Estrada Жыл бұрын

@@terririll5999 I have used Fiberglass rods, I'd say it's definitely harder for a beginner. haha. They don't have much "umph" to push a cast in the wind. It's kind of like a subculture within fly fishing. Once regular fly fishing has become to feel too easy, you move on to glass rods. I primarily use a glass rod for trout fishing, as it helps me keep large fish on when using ultra light leaders. I have used it a bunch for juvenile tarpon too, and it can be fun, but it's far more difficult to cast in windy conditions.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcqgZpCrstCddKs.htmlsi=bEtrl3n6uJC0nUpJ Your cast could use a little work, it looks like you are throwing the line and working too hard. Let the Rod do the work, check out some of Pete's casting videos, you might pickup some good info and make your casting even better. Not picking on you, and I still consider myself as having lots to learn, enjoyed the video.

@Eric.Estrada 4 ай бұрын

Not trying to be defensive, but you're incorrect. I can dump over 100 yards with little effort and less than 2 false casts. You're watching a POV video and trying to judge my cast....What you're likely seeing in this video is that i am using an old Cortland liquid crystal fly line that is tacky. And because it is tacky, it is sticking to the guides and you gotta push it through the guides. It just happened to be what was in my rod vault this day, I wasn't even intending to fish. Was just going to the beach with the family. But I saw how nice the conditions were so I grabbed my 8wt from the rod vault. As for casting technique, I do the bahamian cast, not a traditional cast as I am in saltwater, not in a stream. And we are constantly casting into 20mph winds. Which is how I generate such line speed with little effort and minimal false casts. a traditional cast will not be effective in this environment. My budd Davin Ebanks has a video over a decade old teaching how to cast this way, called "Taming the wind". No offense to Pete, but you should not stop the rod when fly casting in this tropical environment....
