Marina del Mar report

[Beaver]

Martin,

I would go to Lee Baermann's site www.flyfishthesurf.com and check out the fly's there. Also on fishingnetwork.net there is a guy by the name of Wingnut on that site that has caught Halibut on the fly. There is a thread on there last year that has a picture of some the flies he was using. Can't remember which thread it was, but it was the end of the year when he posted it. I know clousers should work and Eric's tackle shop in Ventura has some flies also. Good luck.

I haven't checked today....but for quite awhile now Albrignt has had their Spey rods discounted very deep. They are listed as $370 MSRP. I do not know it that is their normal price or not. But they have three different spey rods marked down to $79 each. You cannot buy decent components hardly and build a single had rod for that. These are complete and come in a very nice tube.

They have a 13'.....8/9 wt
14'....9/10 wt
15'...10/11wt

I don't think you will ever find a better time....or even better deal on a spey rod.

Sorry, I reaalize I posted this info earlier. However cannot delete it as another post just came in on the thread. So I will just leave the post as is.....

Checked today, still on sale, no longer shows the tube with the 15' one....not sure what that means....but still a steal. The link:

It starts out showing waders...but just scroll down till you see a small post on spey rods, listing the three....and click on one of your choosing
I have the 8/9 now and the 10/11. I got to cast the 10/11 one time with a friend and loved it. Just him showing me on a pond. Did not fish or hook into anything. But I really like that 15' one. Probably oversized for surf or PNW fishing. But I really liked it, and it's length.

Martin, excellent report. I keep repeating to myself ... "...someday, salt; someday, salt..."

Thanks Beaver, I'll check that website. Jim, I'm sure you'll be able to catch fish with anything longer than 9', you'll get more distance and I hope you can try it out here one of these days. Thanks Kglissmeyer, if you have the chance go ahead, it is worth it.

Great report and pics Martin. One of these days I'll get over to Socal and try that. It looks like a blast.

[Martin McFly]

It's great Brandon, glad to hear from you.

I am always here, just usually quiet.

I know Marina del Rey, is that the area you fished? I am a Socal native but AZ is nice.

[Martin McFly]

Boy am I slow!!!! That's what I meant to say Marina del Rey. It was really slow around the jettie so I just walked to the beach and boom, a couple of perch, that was good enough for me thou.
Arizona is nice, I just live happier near the beach is all.
