Hi, I am captain Fraser Simpson with fly and fish with Fraser it’s where I Share my Saltwater Sport Fishing Experiences in video.
Whether its Offshore in Costa Rica or, in my home of Miami on a Tarpon Fishing Charter, or Evergaldes National park on a tarpon and snook fishing charter, I am all about saltwater fly fishing and spin casting.
I do whatever it takes to get my clients and friends on fish. Along the way I try to help out with tips about fishing gear, tackle, or whatever it takes to catch big fish!
To fish with me on charter call 954-292-5512 or visit www.flyandfish.com or www.miamitarponfishingcharters.com www.evergaldestarponandsnookfishing.com
Thanks I have all that but I was using my phone at times it’s easier. I have a rebel t6i with microphone etc but have found that it doesn’t like salt spray too much
A ‘Gossa 15 seems a bit large and heavy for this rod. Although I’m sure they’re matched appropriately per action, power, and line, and lure weight ratings. I’d like to use the new ‘23 Saltiga 6000 with this rod…would sincerely appreciate and respect your thoughts on that.
The general concern is line capacity with the tarpon that we target. It’s easy to encounter fish in the 100-150 lb class when the big females show up for the shrimp runs and other times. Some of the areas we fish are also 50ft deep in addition to line capacity we also need a drag strength to lift the fish and the back bone in the rod to be able to apply the pressure. Once hooked into one of these beasts it’s easy to feel under gunned.
This is a great video. Im going to be spending 15 days on harbour island with the boat I work on in February. May I ask what this gentlemen charged for his service? Im wondering what I will need to fork over for a guide down there. Cheers!
It was 18 years ago, but I wandered along the seafront of Harbour Island, rod in hand, and over the very hard bottom there was an ENORMOUS shoal of bones just seemingly milling around aimlessly. I was told at the time that they were a permanent feature. I had all the shots I wanted but singling out any specific one was nigh on impossible. Have a wander with your polaroids on before committing to a guide. Time spent on reconnaissance is never wasted...
@@carlpasha yeah I went out with bonefish stuart today and didn’t get close enough to a single bone to make a shot. He was a nice guy though, but that’s $600 down the drain. I could do a full day drift on a river in the states for that much.
It happens. Wander around the less peopled area of shoreline, keeping an eye out. You'll see bones and they'll be in knee deep water. Depending on the time of day it can be actually easier to see the ones a long way off rather than within casting distance. Spot the far away fish and if it's coming towards you it'll be much easier to watch its approach and lay your fly down on an intercept. Even it's to the side, the bone will turn for the (supposed) meal. Consider getting onto Eleuthera proper and getting a cab to Savannah Sound. Bring some sandwiches and a cooler. It's a looooong stretch of flat and the bones come up from the deeper channel. I had bones feeding hard up against the shore. And that's where I learned they were easier to detect far away. Keep us posted! I wish I was there instead of here in the grey, cold, UK!
good job and way to explain every thing your doing. I also have TFO fly rods. well made and cast great and great service department. catching little legends are almost as fun as catching the adults. keep up the cool videos.
