{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Florida Fishing Mix Tape

Rest assured that the vast majority of the people reading this report would have blown the same cast, probably far worse than you did!  Like, the fly would have struck the back of my head rendering me unconscious, and then I would have toppled over into the water and been strangled by the working portion of fly line.

I spent a few days in Fort Pierce, FL last week visiting my parents and getting some fishing in. I was actually continuing my chase for a big Snook. I had plenty of opportunities but could not bring the coveted Snookzilla to hand. The first three fish I hooked were slot size and would have satisfied my needs. The first fish wrapped me on a dock post, the second straightened out the hook, and the third rubbed through 40lbs fluorocarbon…god I love these fish.

I made it out with Captain Christian Yergens of CNY on the Fly, based out of Vero Beach. He got me on fish and put me in front of a Snook that was easily 45", and I promptly blew the cast and watched the fish of a life time explode in fear. That fish will haunt me for a long, long time.

The trip was certainly not a loss. I got a very nice mixed bag of gorgeous Indian River Lagoon fish (Snook, Reds, Trout, Bluefish, Grouper, Jacks, etc) and got to put some deep bends in my 8, 9, and 10 weights.  And although I did miss a stud Snook on the last day, I added a new species on the fly…a puffer…
