New critters are starting to show up along the coast, Cobia are moving in the area with a few being caught last week on fly.  The season in South Carolina is closed, but you can still go harass them and let’m go.  This is going to reduce boat traffic tremendously and hopefully provide us with more fish cruising the surface.  I will be looking for them this week , and would love to see one inhale a customers fly.  Please no clouds !  George Brownie and I headed out chasing some reds the other day and found some fish willing to take some feathers, but many fish were a bit funny acting.  All in all it was good day, pesky clouds were killing us at times then the wind decided to visit.

April has for sure settled down and the fish are there to be caught !  That doesn’t mean we catch them all the time.  Salt water fly fishing is a humbling little game we play, and at times down right maddening.  The biggest mistake people make is lifting the rod to set the hook.  I see it time and time again, and people get so bummed when they do it.  Our entire angling life prior to salt water fly fishing one is taught to set the the hook by rearing back or lifting a rod to do so.  This is not a easy habit to break and it can cost you fish, but if you do it don’t get bummed, it’s a learning experience and happens to all of us at one point or another.  I always say, if salt water fly fishing were easy there wouldn’t be such a thing a bait fisherman.  Water temps are creeping up and we should be seeing other species soon. I will keep ya posted.  Take note of the flies hanging from the critters lips, all Chris Webber patterns that you can pick up at Rivers and Glenn fly shop in Savannah.
