Can start to show off the beaches as early as late December. By end of February through May they are pretty consistent schooling up and fining on the surface. These are perfect fish for fly. They typically run 20 to 40 lbs and love surface poppers. If you are up to the task of throwing a big popper to tough mean gnarly fish then this is for you. The surface bite is explosive followed by an unrelenting fight all the way to the boat ... and then some! Don't overlook this experience, especially on fly.
