Dries, wets, nymphs and streamers...it's all good!
We are heading to Cancun next week and are staying at a resort that has an exceptionally long beachfront. This time of year the resorts are not crowded and I should have plenty of early morning space to try fishing the surf for the first time. After doing a little web surfing, it looks like I might be able to get in a few jacks and possibly a bonefish or 2. I don't really have too many flies, mostly deceivers, a few crab patterns and crazy charlies. Will be taking down an 8wt rod and a friend is loaning me a couple fly lines, a floater and sink tip with a few more flies. Here is what my box looks like now.
I hope to be fishing the surf in the mornings M-W. Any tips regarding how to fish them, what to look for, presentation, leaders strength and length, floro vs mono tippet, etc?
On Thursday, I have booked a trip with a flats guide who will be taking me to Isla Blanca where the target fish are Bonefish, Snook, Permit and Tarpon. I have never fished from a platform boat nor stalked the flats, I can't wait!
I think I will sleep in on Friday and we will be returning home Saturday. Just enough time for me to rest up for the following weeks steelhead trip.
