It's always incredibly windy when I've been down there. Heck, between my brother, dad, and I, we've only caught a few mullets using live bait. Congrats on your catches and nice photos.ddkfishinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02885479811578143178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148053610537598768.post-81209679299766325872014-07-03T04:59:02.300-07:002014-07-03T04:59:02.300-07:00Kevin,

Although I have extremely limited experience with a fly rod, I've spent many hours standing in the edge of the surf waiting for a bite or casting lures to no avail. The fact that you were able to hook and land these fish in the surf with a fly rod is pretty amazing to me. If you don't mind me asking, on which beach did you accomplish this feat?

There's a canal type thing that parallels the beach. The fish travel up and down this to feed.

I'm thinking of visiting the NC coast with an 8wt and some Clousers now.
