Always try to fish on a rising tide, for that is when fish schools tend to move into the structure of shallow waters and feed on the crustaceans that are out and about. Wading or drifting through the shallow flats of various shallow waters with hard sand or mud bottoms on the more calm and clear water days provides the best opportunity to literally hunt for your quarry. When stalking fish one must watch for its ever so subtle and visual clues, the tail fins protruding from the water, swirling ripples or other visual signs, and then placing your cast so that a fish will take the bait. Spotting and approaching a group or individual fish requires great patience and slow moves. For best results choose flies that resemble a shrimp or local bait fishes.
Weather conditions can make or break a fishing trip, so come prepared.
The winter and spring months are sometimes unpredictable and you should pack an assortment of clothing. Bring long pants, sweats, and long sleeved shirts, an insulated waterproof jacket and heavy waders with you on your salt water fly fishing excursion. All anglers agree that patience , the long time known best virtue of all fishermen, is a must when fly fishing. Be sure to assemble the proper equipment, select the perfect lures, flies or bait to assure you the most successful excursion. Most sporting goods department stores can assist you with selections.
