Flyfishing 12/26/08 - My first AJ and Snapper on FLY!! on VIDEO!!

true-king · 12-27-2008, 09:25 AM

Unlike the past trip, we had a hard time finding big amberjack yesterday.Neither Chris nor I couldcatch one over 25 inches! I broke out my new fly rod with sinking line on a wreck. I got my first amberjack on fly, not a big one though. After that, I got my first two snapper on fly, one was pretty nice. Unfortunately, the 2nd snapper (the bigger one) broke my the tip section on my brand new rod as I was leadering! :banghead:banghead:banghead. I know it was a noob mistake. After that, we decided to head on in. Luckly, we found a ton of bonita in the pass to lift our spirits and complete the day.Also luckly, I had my 8 weight too!We probably caught 10 on fly between the two of us. We took video on the new flip video camera I got for christmas. It turned out pretty good:

Good job. Those FLIPs are cool aren't they? Did you get the water proof housing too?

They say you can dive with them (10 whole feet) but I don't want to test it.

Nah, I didn't get it. Sounds like a good idea though for taking it out there. I love just plugging it into the computer and having the video files ready for editing.

I don't have the patience toeditany, lol.
