First corbina on the fly

[Martin McFly]

I met with a very knowledgeable angler yesterday morning and I learned a thing or two about the surf and corbinas.
I managed to catch two of them on the fly and it was a very exiting experience fighting a big fish. For some reason the beach was full of clothes, I caught a sock and a tank top...

Congrats Martin...hey, you got some new clothes in the deal too !

Cheers,

Very nice fish! How do they taste? It looks a little bit like an Australian Jew fish.
All the best.

Nice fish Martin. Did you catch them on your new sand crab fly?

I mean, it seemed like somebody emptied their whole closet there, shame on them, clothes everywhere. Unfortunately both the sock and the tank top were small. I saw a pair of tighty whities that looked just my size but I couldn't catch those
I released both fish but a while back I kept one and it tastes great! It doesn't get as big as the Australian Jew Fish but still puts up a great fight.
I did catch one of them on my deer hair sand crab aka "dhsc" and the other fish on a regular yarn crab.

Congratualtion on the new species and on your own creation and design is that Martins DHSC or McFly's DHSC.

That looks like a member of the drum family, a lot like a Red Fish.

[Martin McFly]

Thank you and yes, they are both part of the sciaenidae family, I've never caught a drum but I can tell you these fight hard. I caught one on a spinning set up loaded with a 6 pound test line a while back and I wasn't able to land it, I fought it for 15 min and it didn't show any signs of being tired. It felt better fighting it with my fly rod.

Not sure maybe just DHSC, what do you think?

[Uncle Jesse]

You know Martin I was thinking MMDHSC, but considering where you live some one would eventually think that was the Mickey Mouse Deer Hair Sand Crab. Just like at the hospital, it's your baby you get to name it.

[Martin McFly]

Well, McFly is not my real lastname, it's just a nickname because I love fly fishing. We'll see, I gotta catch more fish with them first. lol. Hey, there is a Mickey fin patter, right. why not a mmdhsc lol.
