    planning on getting down myself in the next week or so theyre a great fighting fish, going to bring the fly rod too if they are there in numbers, I'd say they would be great fun on the fly

    Most people spin with a Blue and silver/Black Tazzie,

    I'd love to get one on the fly though id say they would put up a great fight

    caught on spinner not great water to flyfish on as it very dirty on rising tide as it just back up worth a try from a boat
