Cudas like a fast retrieve, gotta rip the fly through the water. my biggest last year on fly was around a 42" log. Heaps of them running with the bonies.

pm me sometime,I'm in SD and can give you some tips. Are you hitting yourself with your flies? Windy Days trying to cast forehand? Learn to cast back handed

A couple of years ago I was fishing for seabass (similar to a snook) in Japan. The were not biting, so my prostaff asked if I wanted to catch some mullet.
On what?
On small black ripbaits. Specifically a Lucky Craft Humpback minnow. He said any small (5 to 7 cm) minnow will work.
I call BS,
and he preceded to catch 4 four to seven pound mullet on the 4lb. spinning gear.
I got an idea. I had seven weight FR with a sinking tip line in my truck. I also had a collection of black wooly buggers that I used for Amago (a Japanese trout)
It was great fun. A slow twitch and strip was the ticket. All the fish were mouth hooked, and some jumped! A size six seemed to be the ticket.
Anywhoo--mebbee the small black flies will work in Cali too.
Nice report--and don't listen to the hayters--they are always picking on us gay BD members.

.................................................. ......................I've caught them on rip baits too [lip hooked] as well as small mega baits. I'm not sure if they want to eat the bait or attack an intruder, but they bit none the less. A very game fish on light tackle, but not the best table fare.

Roll cast for times with no room behind you.

Lake Murray on Sunday mornings from 9am to noon = free fly fishing (casting lessons). I should go again those guys are hilarious. And you don't even need to take your own equipment - they have everything.

Actually a backhand cast is different. You are actually throwing the flyline behind you (standing with your back to the water).

It's funny, when I'm throwing my 400 gr. line I cast much better backhanded than I do casting normally, even if there is no wind.

believe it or not, there is a commercial market for them. They are popular market fish in the south, and not too bad smoked.
