MarkG52 Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 Had a great trip to Pensacola Beach last week. Got to fly fish the surf and caught a ton of Ladyfish, a few Bluefish, and a fish I have no clue what is. Mostly used a 7wt except used an 8 last Friday. They were eager to eat shrimp patterns I tied from previous trips to Belize for Bonefish and Clousers as well. Saw a bunch of sharks, mostly small, but a 6 foot Bull followed a Ladyfish a new buddy had hooked right up onto the sand! The June grass and seaweed gets pretty bad in the afternoons. Most days I fished, or tried to fish the beach at our condo, the last two mornings fished the National Seashore between P'cola and Navarre. Highlights of the the trip were, SRX racing at Five Flags Speedway (won by Helio Castroneves), watching the Blue Angels practice from Ft. Pickens, my son taking wife on a helicopter tour for her birthday present, and best of all, quality time with my family! kjackson, Haris122, BilletHead and 8 others 11

Johnsfolly Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 Sounds like a great trip. Love that clear water. That jack looks like a blue runner. I have been a fan of Helios for a while. MarkG52 1
Flysmallie Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Fly fishing the surf is one of my favorite things. Going to be September before I get a chance this year. MarkG52 1
