One Fly Tournament (saltwater) by Coastal Fly Rodders

This is always a fun event and the tournament benefits are donated to the American Littoral Society.

I have never fly fished. Must be exciting to have a bass rise to take a small fly.

Monster bluefish should be here by then as well. Bet they would destroy a fly in one cast, be careful.

Out Saturday morning for the Coastal Fly Rodders Annual One Fly Tournament (surf only).

We got into the bluefish pretty good on fly rods, I landed around 15 and missed/dropped just as many.

The spinning rod guys had them every cast (seems like the blues had a much easier time finding the bigger plugs over the smaller flies in the dirty water).

Ended up grabbing second place with 6 bluefish on my one fly before it became un-fishable.

After the tournament was over I went over to the boat to see if we could get some more bluefish just outside the marina. We were greeted by very dirty water but were still able to catch a couple on flies/plugs in 4-6ft of water.

That looks like a blast, congrats! I was curious about the fly, the chartreuse one that is four pics down. It doesn't look like much to it. Not trying to be critical but I didn't know they would hit something with that little hair on it?
Or is that what it looked like after they were beating up on it for awhile?

Great job on the fly.

Nice bend in the rod! Congrats

Nicely done thanks for sharing.

Good job.

Great work. Love seeing bent rods looks like you all had a blast thanks for sharing.
