Hunting Harbor 8-20-2020

The Fly line I use is 100 Ft. total length... Heavy sink tip first 30 to 35 ft. intergraded sinking/running line behind that for the rest of it.
I can cast it 50 ft and let it sink for 30 seconds while I kick my hobie in revers, letting out more line.

If you would like I will send photo of the lines i use.

thanks, I know the guys fishing for stripers locally are using flies behind a lead core line to get the depth. I haven't seen the flies but I'm guessing it is something along the line of a thread fin shad. I fished Silverwood Reservoir before the stripers got there but any big streamer with a lot of white would kill the brown trout that were in the lake. Are you standing up when you cast? I don't know if I can still send a streamer 35 yards. The guys I see fishing the bays are fishing a lot shallower than 50 feet but they seem to do pretty good on the spotties.

Hi Mark, those are some good size Spotties. Do you just troll the fly behind you on the surface usually?

Also wondering, do you feel the fish are equally distributed in the bay or is it better closer to the harbor jetties or the back side of the bay?

Thanks
