Surf Perch?

I made my first attempt at fly fishing in the ocean. Only spent a couple of hours while my wife and son played in the sand. I got a bump or two, but nothing more. It was more a chance to figure out what the heck I was doing. I really had no clue.



In an unusual twist, I actually have video! Since my wife was around with a camera, you can see a few seconds of me casting my switch rod over head. The two handed rod worked surprisingly well, I was able to cast pretty far over the breakers through a wicked wind blowing in my face. Even with the 10 foot sink tip.

If it weren't for the wind knots, it was a killer day. I'd like to go again soon.
