Looks like you're having a good time on the tuna!! See you about one day.
Maxg,
Thanks for the info too, good point about the flies available, I do spend quite some time mulling over which one to use. Question for you and everyone. When you flats fish do you go for weed covered flats or clean sand? I've been going at it on weed covered flats on an intermediate line and have to constantly clean weed off my hook, this annoys me no end and detracts from the enjoyment. It also means as soon as the weed is on the hook fish won't go for it cause it doesn't look right. Suggests or tips Maxg or anyone?
Thanks
J
