Mario is a great character. I see him out there quite often, one of the few kayakers out there at 4am.

A true fly fisherman from the kayak, not one of those who uses a fly rod to troll with. In fact he fishes the fly fishing division at the Jamaica Bay tournament and was telling me how 90% of the guys there just troll around all day and never actually fly fish...

IMO trolling a fly rod should just be put into the same class as spinning/conventional rods.

Rob, you should fish with Mario; I think you two would get along great.
Text me, we can all get together and do a kayak bluefish fly fishing only trip
