The Skipjack are running now and fishing for them is a blast. I tried it out for the first time today and had a great time! They hit like a freight train and jump like a rainbow trout...can't get any better than that. On the down side, my cheap 6 wt rod seems to be cracking. I can't tell if it's just the finish or not but regardless, I'll probably have to switch over to my 5 wt for warmwater fishing. Should be interesting...
Caught a few other fish as well...
Nice looking fish. I'd like to give that a try but I live in the Uk so I'll have to make do with Atlanic salmon and trout (brown and rainbow) I guess?
ReplyDeleteSkipjack are running today. Dec.31 2016. We are fishing below Bull Run steam plant in east Tennessee, USA. The plant is not generating so the water flow is cold, which seems to be great for the Skipjack.
