On a hunch, I headed for the beach today to sight-fish snook in the surf. It was great!
They were plentiful and hungry.
First snook of the morning was a really nice one. Ended up catching and releasing 16. Lost 5-6 more. Had 5 other takes.
All were caught on D.T. Special, the only fly I use to sight-fish in the surf. I used my 4-weight TFO Finesse, 6-pound tippet, 20-pound fluoro shock leader.
I estimate that I saw 400-500 snook in the surf today.
Nice snook:
