Sounds good, whats the target species..? general beach fishing with bait..? Looks like being a great weekend, not too hot and calm either.

100 bass on the fly - 5wt rod and line unweighted flies - catch and return - sight fishing

Clear shallow water, light rod and floating line, unweighted flies and sight fishing for these. It's gonna take some beating! #flyfishing

Wow Jim, thats some session. I had 8 in total, biggest was around 5Ib. Was expecting more but still very happy with that. Weed was a problem and had I been able to keep the lures clearer for longer then I would have caught more I reckon.
