Have landed snook, sp. macks & yellowtail snappers. Info on how to use the tides (timing) would be appreciated. Will only be in area for a couple of days. What about the bulkheads just north of the jetty?

I'm used to striper fishing (from the surf) in NJ I had very little luck when I was down last year as it was quite chilly (in the 40's at night).

Same techniques for stripers. Looking for jacks & much bigger snook.

I Suggest flies that work the deeper water column like Clousers. I like Red and White. Pompano, Sea Trout, Sheephead ,Mackerel, lady fish and Jacks Will be the main targets. Try walking the beach and focus on baitfish or Surface activity. I prefer The High tide if you have a choice. The Rock pile on the North Side of Gordon's Pass has a nice drop off that always has some nice moving water. Give that a try and good luck. If you need some more tips and advice Let me know Captainaron@comcast.net Back to top NYflyguy Joined: Feb 21, 2007 Posts: 7 Location: Ridge, New York Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2008 11:02 pm    Post subject: Thanks. Have been down in Feb. before and it all depends on the temp of the water. Will try the suggestions. Am arriving Thurs & will hit the beach on Fri Back to top buzzard26 Joined: Jan 29, 2007 Posts: 5 Location: New Jersey Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2008 11:50 am    Post subject: I'm not a fly fisherman, but do surf fish often at home. Any suggestions as to size of lures, hooks, or bait Back to top mark Joined: Apr 08, 2004 Posts: 262 Location: Naples, FL Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2008 12:16 pm    Post subject: Hi buzz26, Jigs and spoon s are a good way to catch fish plus cover alot of territory. For jigs use 1/4 or 3/8 oz head and the gulp products work well with the built in smell. The shad and shrimp patterns are good. For spoons either gold or silver although I prefer silver in 1/4-1/2 oz. I've used one recently with a built in swivel althugh not sure the name. For plugs the bomber long A is good in chartreuse and red/ white and silver. The weather has been warm and the water, as of today is very clear along the beach especilly a high tide which all makes for good fishing. Stop in the shop and say hi. Good luck!
