This link will stay on this page. Check it out. http://stuartflyfishing.blogspot.com December 2, 2008 I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I have had a couple great trips the last few days. Mostly winter time type fishing, jacks, bluefish, spanish, and some snook mixed in. There are more pictures posted on www.saltyshores.com or check out my blog at http://stuartflyfishing.blogspot.com November 27,2008 Well it is Thanksgiving and I am getting ready to stuff my face with turkey and pie, but I thought I would take a minute to update this page first. The bottom line is we all have something to be thankful for. I am thankful for my family, it is hard to believe that my baby Gage is going to be 4 in about a week. I am also thankful that I can make a living doing something that I love so much, and that I have clients like yourself to make it possible. So Happy Thanksgiving to all. On the fishing front I have not had many charters lately but I did on Tuesday with Art McEvoy and his father in law Bob. We managed to get out on the beach and we caught some spanish mackerel, but the best part of the day was what we came across out there. First we came across a school of tarpon, big tarpon, I know it is November? I was as surprised as you are, and Art did manage a fly or two in front of them but they were in no mood to eat, the water temperature was 65 degrees? So after giving up on them I went back on the hunt for more macks when I came across a sunfish, a very rare fish to see, especially in 15 feet of water. If you do not know what one is Google it and you will be amazed. A very cool sight. On I went down the beach when I checked a couple of buoys and sure enough a nice triple tail was hanging out, again Art threw his fly at the fish and got a couple follows but no takers. So we decided to end the day in the river were both of the guys managed their first snook. Yesterday I fished with my friend Jason and his brother, we got into a good bluefish bite on both fly and plugs, and Jason's brother Jared managed a nice grouper on a Mirrolure. I still have plenty of openings around the holidays so let's get out and fish. The new website and the shirts are still being worked on, so stay tuned. Also I have been invited to be a contributor to Salty Shores it is a website that is focused around fishing and photography. If you enjoy fishing and photography you will want to check it out. I will just post some thoughts and photos there. Stuart Flyfishing update I would like to let you in on a few things. First, I am announcing that I reduced my rates. This is a direct reflection of the fuel prices, as many of you remember in April of 2008 I was forced to raise my rates due to gas being over $4.00. My rates are now back to the price prior to April. Half day is $350, a 3/4 day is $450, and the full day remains the same at $600. These are the same rates I had from April 2006 to April 2008, let's hope fuel cost stay down especially once I start running the beach again in February, for the giant jacks.
In other news this website will soon get a face
lift, believe it or not this site is almost 9 years old. The new
look will include some of my most recent photography and a new logo.
It will be a new look with more useful content and a few exciting new twists and turns. The new logo was
designed by Rob McAbee, he is an extremely creative graphic
designer,
www.nomaddesignco.com. Also, you need to check out his fly fishing
apparel
at www.bugslinger.com.
These t-shirt designs are long over due, artistic designs with a
edgy flare that truly represent a new age of flyfishing, whether in
saltwater or on a tailwater. Flyfishing has definitely become a
sport for all ages. I
just received my Bug slinger order and I am overly impressed with how
comfortable his shirts are, and the hat is a high quality flex fit.
Not to mention the killer graphics. I can assure you that any fly
fisherman would love a Bug slinger t-shirt or two under the tree. My new Stuart Fly Fishing shirts
and hats will be available soon.
I would also like to update you guys on a new fly rod that I have been using. Many of you are familiar with Crowder Rods for their excellent line of light tackle and offshore rods, but now Crowder has introduced his first line of 4 piece fly rods. Robbie Crowder has been building rods for decades now and believe me he knows what he is doing. He combined the perfect casting blank with titanium components that won't corrode. Many of you remember when I switched from Sage to G-Loomis for my fly rods, and my only complaint with Sage was the durability, mainly the guides corroding in saltwater. I won't go into how I was told from someone at Sage that I don't care properly for my rods. So I switched to G-Loomis a couple of years ago, and they make quality rods with titanium components and I still have many Loomis rods. When Robbie Crowder asked my opinion about fly rods here was my response, "Build a rod that casts like a Sage, has quality components like the Loomis, with a lifetime guarantee and is cheaper then both and I think you will be on to something." He delivered, a 4 piece rod that is an excellent casting rod with titanium components, a lifetime guarantee, and all for $350.00! If you are interested in buying one or casting one just let me know. My last bit of news, at least for today. I would love for all of you to check out my new photography page at, pbase.com/stuartflyfishing. Please give me any feed back it is always appreciated. Okay I lied, one more thing. Please email me with your most current email address, many of my email address I have for you guys are getting kicked back to me. Enjoy and thanks for reading, a keep checking back for more. John
