![]() Soon after Jeff’s rod had a bend in it and he connected with bean number four for the morning, he was using a light pink merkin. I told Jeff to move up the beach just north of us and look around, there were quite a few fish. ![]() The only saw a few fish and had a few shots. I asked Jeff and Michelle if they had any luck. Two other friends Jeff and Michelle later joined us. Then Zino walked up and we switched his fly out to a grey merkin and soon after he had bean three on the beach. I was denied on pink for some reason so I went with smaller grey merkin and immediately got hooked up and landed bean numero dos for the morning. He joined an elite group and I was really proud of him for not getting frustrated and staying with it. This was a real special fish for Mike, he had been fly fishing with me for almost three seasons and hadn’t landed a bean on fly. Mike positioned himself over a nice looking piece of water and within a half of an hour got things started by sticking a beautiful fat corbina, that took off like a bat out of hell. It was game on! The fish were right where we thought they were going to be, staging in each bucket. This minus low is one of my favorite tides to fish this time of year and based on the last six or seven years has proven to produce many corbina on flies for me and many of my fishing pals. Well we moved the troops south on July 4th and invited some of our buddies to give this area a shot. On a positive note, we had perfect minus low tides which make for good sighting in low light conditions. That’s corbina fishing! The problem was that there was awesome am sunshine a month ago and now we had the dreaded june gloom to contend with. I got out a day after and saw fish everywhere but couldn’t get them to eat. ![]() He sight-fished all three, watching the corbina chase down the fly, one even took the pink merkin on the drop. In fact, my buddy Jim had hooked three and landed two a few weeks prior in the same area. I had had reports that there were some fish moving around. Well after my last dismal post, we decided to make a move and fish south of location X. Mike Ward proudly lands his first bean on fly! Congratulations Mikey! 2012 © photos by Al Quattrocchi
