I'm using a 9 weight rod and line. I'm running a floating WF (weight forward) line, to a slow sinking tip, to a 4-5 foot mono leader (30 pounds).There is a Tactical Anglers Clip tied to the mono, and a green/white clouser connected to it.

looks like the alantic ocean is far calmer than my pacfic ocean

Something I'd like to try one day. Appreciate you explaining what you're doing and thanks for posting!

I just found your channel and subscribed. I have tried striper on a fly and failed. No clue on how to. This video is exactly what I needed. Concise explanation of how, where and why. Thank you very much. I can’t wait to try again this year!

Superb saltwater fly fishing video. Only suggestion is in conditions like those in the film I try to cast up current almost parallel to the shore while standing in the wash. You are correct about no need to cast far and short leaders work better than longer ones. What you taught me is to not constantly relieve. The tactical angler clip is interesting. I have to try it. Thanks

Man I was fishing one beach to the west of you that day. It was so epic!

This is a VERY helpful video!  Thank you!

You're showing me how to make it work thanks 👍 i got to get down  and working it that's the ticket hopefully it works out good luck to you leave me some

New to surf fishing.  This is an excellent introduction to striper tactics.

Awesome video. Incredible scenery. Hope I can catch that fish one day too.

Beautiful never seen a fly rod in action before

Great information. It helps a lot

I watching it all over again…this one is a gooood one !!

Can’t stop watching lol
Structure is same as  my local spots, love swimming the fly but is also a hoping hunt,…, tight line is a more active hunting, we always in contact with anything  that happens to the fly when connected to the rod tip.

I like about 1  or  2 times rod length max of line out from rod tip when fish is on this feeding pattern.
You are in 30’ and having great results, but if you go back, over the takes, most  happen at the “hang” or when you are about to lift to water haul and recast, tight to the drop off,  same as you did here, I also cast over them 20’ to far many times …🙃

The incoming wave pattern and how far the back wash is going up in the beach slope, look at that water and how the surf incoming wave meets at the drop, to me it shows how this guys wait and timing the set for that moment to have the upper hand for only few seconds to go for the kill, just fascinating, the best part, a 40”fish  is feeding exactly the same as a schoolie.


I’m  just so happy you put this clip 🙏
Keep up the good work SFS
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very educational..another great one!

Peaceful🎉❤🎉

Excellent tutorial , narration and graphics

I have fished this way on the Gulf beaches around Destin and Pensacola and if I'm able to get out before the waves begin to build and the clueless tourists being walking down the beaches, completely ignoring everything around them, I have had some great success with 9 and 10 wt rods and chartruese clousers on Pompano and Red Fish, Skipjacks and an occasional big something that breaks my line before I can get an eye on it.    I have also used Spey and Switch rods when surf conditions don't prevent you from creating a good D loop but most of the time it's a tough proposition, at least it was for me.

The waves alongs these beaches are very often large, strong and fast so it is difficult, more often than not, to be able to manage lines while fly fishing in that surf.   I believe that the use of a Pyramid Lake style fishing ladder of 6-8'  in height would be a the best way to fish the surf along the Gulf's beaches but I am an old man now with some health issues that positively prevent me from fishing the salt any longer.

That was a great sunset...But the clouser was just to much for the bass to resist ....Fish on

Good vid
