Monster Beach Snook On Fly - Plus Underwater Footage of Glass Minnows and Snook 

Great video! Thanks! I just recently caught my first beach snook on fly. This was one of the videos I watched before going on the trip to the west coast. The bait schools I experienced were no where as thick as the bait in your video. Beach snook are pretty finicky as I learned , alot of missed shots. The ones that did eat, made it all worthwhile.

Awesome video! I love the under water shots, and WHAT A FISH! Great work! I just subscribed.

I've watched this video around three or four times already in the past year. It's a good one.

Excellent adventure thanks for sharing!!

Thank just a awesome video sir I new to fly fishing and looking forward to catch fish on the surf this spring coming up

Great video, keep up the great work 👍.

That underwater footage is amazing! So many snook. What an awesome morning to be out there, great video again!!

Hot damn the footage that you have shared is incredible. Thank you!

Nice video. Thanks for posting. Hope to be catching a few in a couple of weeks-

It's amazing those fish picked up your fly in the midst of that bait ball. Cool video.

Nice , what fun . Thanks for sharing

Awesome video.

Nice man glad to see you caught some after we left

Great video. I’m making a trip down in June and going to try a bit of shore and backwater fishing while I’m down there. Tight lines 🤙

Nice video very good fly fishing

really nice snook in the surf! also thank you for releasing that snook like you should. So sad seeing people do poor releases on snook big or small.

Great video! I tie lots of Saltwater flies but I live in Idaho. You can see the problem...Lol. We're going to move there in 4 years...can't wait.

Fun video. I’ve never caught a fish on a fly rod off the beach! I need to get out there.

I enjoyed the fly fishing video. I tried to see the fly and think I know the pattern. As a fly fishing addict I am always interested in the particulars: weight of rod combo, leader specs, fly info (pattern/hook size, etc.). I've tied a similar pattern and did a couple more after seeing the video. I'm sure others may have already asked. I'll look at the other comments after my input. I enjoyed the video to a point that I sent the link to my son and grandson (16) in Ft. Myers. Grandson just received a 9 weight outfit that I put together for him. I grew up south of you in Wilton Manors/Ft. Lauderdale and on Big Pine Key. I moved back to Crystal River area in FL after a military career and a few positions after retirement, elsewhere. I fished for Snook as a teen in the late 50's and early 60's before Uncle Sam said they couldn't live without me. Wife and I continue to fish snook, redfish, and trout here. I'll subscribe to your page, post more Fly fishing videos...I'll enjoy them.

goooood stuff sir

Great video. I’ll be in pompano beach Fort Lauderdale for vacation end of may and was thinking of bringing a fly rod. Have you ever fished from the shore for snook and tarpon in that area? I wonder if it’s just as good there as it was for you here.

Nice video. Is it best to fish for these beach snook during high tide or do you catch them during low tide as well?

Nice 👍

Sensacional 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great snook there. Definitely can learn a lot of their behavior when diving.

Nice fly

Any tips for finding the glass minnows or is it just right spot right time? New Sub. Thanks.

Nice video as always and amazing underwater footage. I see you have some sort of white fly but couldn’t really tell what kind. Was it weighted? Clouser style? Did you tie it or ? Thanks for sharing.

Do you fish a floating or intermediate line? Love the channel

Great shots of the schools and following fish. Looked like West Coast (Captiva, Caya Costa areas). What size line and rod? Leaders seemed to handle those nice size snook well. Very enjoyable.

Beautiful footage and fish! I’m trying to get into saltwater fly fishing, what techniques are you using to catch these fish? Are you letting it drift or stripping it straight back? Also do you recommend going on a high or low tide?

Great video, beautiful snook. What gear were you using?

Do you have a floating line or do you recommend an intermediate sinking line?

Gripping above the cork gets me concerned every time! Got it in the end

Hey great video ! Whats the name of the reel you’re using in this video? It looks almost like the piscifun sword ? Edit: also, are you using sinking line, intermediate,or floating ?

Great vid! What size rod and line do you use for snook?

U are using a Pisifun rod, what weight and model?

What beach is this? Great stuff

Yo, is fly fishing hard? I use open-faced reels and baitcasters and I'm a graphic designer.. I've got an artistic eye when it comes to making things and I'd love to get that fly making kit and a fly rod.. what brand should I get? My budget is around $1,000

What reel are you using. Thanks.

My friend it's me, again, the price of the piscifun sword 9 wt. it's very cheap...Is it???

What time of year was this ?

I wouldn't be leaving this spot until all fish are gone 😂😂

How far are you away from the inlet?

What month out of the year is this?

Where is this? What time of year?

What reel is that?

Why don't you set the hook?

6:28 where in Florida is this beach? 🙏

It' s me, again...Shit , how come I didn't know. Do U have any idea how much I've spent on 5 Sage fly rods...?

The law of averages.... "if you cast enough times, you'll eventually get one." ;) I recommend investing in good fly casting and fly fishing lessons to increase those odds, as well as some better equipment. My recommendation on a good middle of the road budget equipment would be a TFO Axiom II-X 8wt rod, a 3-Tand TX-80 reel (saltwater bullet proof), about 200yrds of really good 20lb backing and Rio's Elite Flats Pro 8wt floating fly line with the 6ft clear intermediate sink tip. Do not skimp out on high quality fly line. Also use all fluorocarbon leader, tippet and bite leader material. I recommend 4' of 40lb, 2' of 30lb, 18" of 20lb, for your butt section. 2' of 15lb for the tippet and 12' of 30lb for the bite leader. Also scale down your hook size to #2 for bigger snook and #4 for dinks. This comes from 3 decades of beach snookin on fly. ;)

Nice footage. Nice Fish! Change your fly. Have a 4 flight rotation set up before you start. Do not spend more than 10 minutes Not Catching fish, with the same color fly! You never set the hook. Use butt of the rod, not tip, to fight strong fish. You could not pull the fly line from between tip of my fingers with the tip of your rod. The butt you can pull me down! You will break your rod pulling on the butt with your left hand, an Expensive lesson! Just so friendly advice! - Peace

I tired commenting yesterday but it looks like it either got taken down or you deleted it. I don’t know. At any rate, I’m from Colorado and I know you won’t share secrets, but if you were to maybe join me or point me in a good direction while I’m in Deerfield next week, that would be awesome. I’d do the same if you ever joined me here in CO! Thx

You'd have more fun if you worked on your casting.
