@@brentwilson2526 it’s not like this every morning. I’ve never seen that big a congregation

@@DanFerraris Ha! I know. I fish Charlotte Harbor a lot. Just wish I was closer.

Thanks

My buddy Dave at Burnt Store sent it to me

@@petesteensen3392 Dave is the redfish master of Charlotte Harbor

That’s why I didn’t post it on Facebook

Thanks for the feedback. There is a lot of video that ends up in the can compared to what ends up on KZfaq 😂😂

www.marcato.it/en/product/accessories/ravioli-stamps The round one with smooth edges is the easiest to use. Le modèle rond aux bords lisses est le plus simple à utiliser.

You can use ground beef and pork plus sausage with sage, rosemary and thyme or you can make a roast of beef and pork instead. There is no recipe with amounts. It is all by eye. Roughly beef to pork to sausage 3:3:1 and roughly 3+ tablespoons of dry rosemary, thyme and sage. Often I add beef bullion for additional flavor. It is salty enough that I don't add salt. Cream cheese or Parmesan is optional as is the parsley and basil. It is important to grind or process the mixture. It needs to be fine or they will be difficult to stuff. The pasta is one egg to each cup of all purpose flour. Hope that helps

There is always a chance. I’ve jumped at least one in every month, but you can’t count on it unfortunately.

I sometimes use a fly like a black muddler. My favorite tarpon fly the last year or two I call a black mojo. It has a tail of black emulator flash, a body of black foxy brush and a black minnow head brush with chartreuse bead chain eyes.

@@DanFerraris baitfish emulator...know it well. whats size hook? standard or short shank? thx. that would make a nice easy peasy video. thinking out loud...lol....

for baby tarpon I like a Mustad alpha point tarpon streamer in size 1 or 2

Thanks

Thanks!

A gurgler

It all started about 3 years ago. This has been the worst by far

If I rig the rod ahead I use mono, but if I switch from a baitfish pattern, I don’t bother and just leave the fluorocarbon on. I don’t think it makes much difference.

It was quite the sight and the video doesn’t do it justice. The water is very muddy and I couldn’t tell what they were eating, but at time’s recently I’ve seen some finely shrimp and pipefish. I don’t know when it started, but it was over in 20 minutes.

Thanks. Hard to say, but I have been seeing some really tiny shrimp, but then again, I’ve seen quite few pipe fish and small needle fish too.

For juveniles, I use a 9wt, sometimes an 8. Those are Orvis and TFO Amiom II. For adults I use an Orvis D3 or Scott 11 wt. in the fall when I fish in deep water with an intermediate, I fish wit a TFO 12wt. I have an understanding wife and too Amy rods😜

I fish for juveniles with a 9wt, sometimes an 8. Usually a 10-11’ leader with a 30# bite tippet, occasionally40#. Usually I fish with a dark fly in muddy water. I have no idea what they were eating. It is really frustrating. The could be really really tiny shrimp, but we’ve tried, but can’t see anything.today the cormorants looked like they were earring eels or pipefish, so I switched to a brown bunny fly. It worked, but only when it was right in their face. I have several fly lines. They all work. Hope that answers your questions.

@@DanFerraris thank you dan for the detailed response enjoy reading and watching what the other guys use & why.

😂😂😂

I usually use 30, sometimes 40.

@@DanFerraris are your flies weighted? i fished down there near Charlotte Harbor ones years ago, we were picking up a boat to bring back to NC, hope all is well, enjoying your poon action, the most exciting fish we have here is Albies off the beach at Cape Lookout in the fall, where 10 weights go to die, lol

@@TheALBIECHASER No, just the weight of the hook. Sometimes I use a gurgler too.

Not to be facetious, you have learn to recognize what they look like when they break the surface and discriminate between them and mullet and other baitfish. If you see birds along a mangrove shoreline, you can almost bet they are there feeding on bait and the birds are taking advantage of them driving the bait into the mangroves. You sometimes have to spend a lot of time looking and still you can’t find them.
