SouthernWake Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 A few more... had one eat today right next to the boat, close enough all we had was leader out of the rod and dropped the fly on its head. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knotthereelworld Posted March 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Southern Wake, where are you located? I also use a Redington Grande as my reel for pups the past year. How do you like the Maverick rod? My St. Croix Legend Elite broke they discontinued it so they won't fix it. I bought a Hardy Demon Salt to replace it but am unsure of it so far.

I like the maverick, it loads quick, is light, but still has the butt to punch a weighted fly against some wind. It makes a great redfish rod.

Fatherof4 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hey Chris...I notice in your pics, you are wading.....vs fishing from the boat...Like that way better? I guess where I fish, its grass and sand bottom, and I, maybe out of lack of patience, find a section of water I like, or looks "fishy" and set the boat up and drift a long section to cover water....I have been listening to a podcast, and a lot of guys in the Keys wade fish, and prefer it for permit.... Just picking your brain... Thanks again and let me know when my flies are ready!! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, I haven't been to Chucktown in 3-4 years but hoping to get down there this year. Grande is a great value but I wish it held more line. My go to reels are Lamsons these days. I'll check out the Maverick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is such a better picture without a white topside there taking away from the fish. Most of those photos are in NC where it is a sand and grass bottom. I too like to set up and do a long drift in the RF. If I am in a kayak I am poling through very specific spots. I met a guy in the Keys who told me he liked to wade for bones and permit, up to chest deep. I don't know how he sees the fish and I would be nervous about sharks. I suggested a paddleboard or yak to him and he said he never even considered it and would try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
