Saltwater Fly Fishing
Places to Fly Fish in Florida?

I just would like to know a few places in the Clearwater-Dunedin area to fly fish. Saltwater or Freshwater. Places like Lake Tarpon? Thanks for answering!!

Howard Park near Tarpon Springs: Either "blind-cast" from shore along the jetty road or get up EARLY and walk the flats area around the beach. (Be careful! Some areas are sandy-bottom and OK for wading, some are NOT! ) Pencil-poppers & Clousers in green/white and red/white work excellent. Look for tailing Reds early following schools of Pogey & finger Mullet. USE flurocarbon leaders!

Wade around Ben T. Davis Municipal Beach. Pencil Poppers in red/white. Clousers in green/white, white, and crab imitation flys work well. If you start getting "cut-offs" it's either Spec Trout or Spanish. Use a heavier fluro-leader.

HoneyMoon Island is a good wading area as well.

There are many beaches and areas but here are a few.

Hope this helps? Good luck!

For a true angler, a pot-hole filled with water is a temptation. We're willing to try out any body of water in the hopes of landing the big one. Even so, we also want a chance to fish the hottest areas with the best fishing. Following are the five locations that promise every fishing trip will be a dream for the real fishermen among us.

5) On our list of the best fishing places in the US, Montauk Point weighs in at number 5. Montauk Point is the home of New York's oldest lighthouse. Located on Long Island, Montauk Point offers some of the best and most varied surfcasting available anywhere.

Fish caught there: Marlin, Mackerel, Sharks, Cod, Weakfish, Tuna, and Striped Bass

4) Yellowstone National Park is the second of the best fishing places in the US. This national park, located in Wyoming, is world renowned as the home of the geyser 'Old Faithful' and is a destination for millions of vacationing families each year. What is lesser known is that Yellowstone (and the region around it) is home to some of the greatest Trout fishing an angler could imagine. From the stocked streams within the park, to the many streams and rivers in the area containing trophy-level wild Trout, Yellowstone should be on any 'Fishing Across America' tour.

Fish caught there: Trout

3) Our rundown of the best fishing places in the US continues with Key West. Located in Florida, Key West is the wonderful area Ernest Hemingway (American Nobel Laureate) chose to call home in the 1930's. Along with all the family amenities a tourist could expect, Key West boasts the kind of salt water fishing excitement that could tempt us all to pull up our roots and move there.

Fish caught there: Tarpon, Bonefish

2) The next of the best fishing places in the US is the Ozark Mountains area. Located in Missouri, the Ozark Mountains area is one of the truly relaxed vacation areas in the US. This area is one where you take things at your own pace and unwind from the day to day stresses of life. Abounding with fishable rivers, the Ozark Mountains area is somewhere an angler can hop in a canoe and discover paradise.

Fish caught there: Smallmouth Bass

1) Finally, coming in number one on our list of the best fishing places in the US is the Outer Banks. Located on the coast of North Carolina, the Outer Banks is the perfect 'back to nature' vacation spot for a family or a fisherman looking to pull in as many fish as he can handle. What makes the Outer Banks such a special fishing place is that it is located along migration routes for monster schools of fish. During the month of November, the Outer Banks offers what is probably the most active, exciting fishing anywhere in the world.

Fish caught there: Albacore

Every angler has a mental list of dream fishing trips. These locations, the best fishing places in the US should be on every fisherman's list.

I hope these tips increase your chance of catching Barramundi on Baits. In my previous article I gave tips on catching Barramundi on Surface lures. The response was so good , I have decided to write this Article.

Tip No1. Methods for Catching Live Bait

In my experience the baits I found extremely successful were Live Baits, These were obtained using a cast net or handline. All good Fishing and tackle shops have a good range of these.

Tip No 2. Looking for a good spot to catch your bait.

Steps in looking for a good spot to catch bait vary but the most success I have had is in areas where there is not to many snags to damage your net. There's nothing worse than arriving at a spot to only find the very first cast with your castnet lands on a snag and rips your castnet to pieces, sometimes that can be the end of your day of Fishing before it even starts.

Tip No 3. Arriving at your Fishing Spot.

So you have arrived at your fishing spot and you have evaluated your options, In the North of Australia. Saltwater Crocodiles are quiet common in these places, so its good to keep an eye out for any potential threats before you start. Splashing your castnet in the water can attract Large Saltwater Crocodile that have no fear of man, but generally the small ones are scared off.

Tip No 4. Catching Bait

Its a good tip to bring a bag of Chicken layer pellets or a loaf of Bread with you, as this can attract the local bait that the Barramundi may be feeding on. Just throw a couple of hands full of Layer pellets into the water, or Rip a couple of slices of bread in the water. It generally a good idea to wait for five to ten minutes before casting your castnet.

Tip No 5. What Bait will I catch

The bait you generally catch varies but in my experience. Most commonly caught are Mullet, Popeye Mullet, Cheribin (Giant Prawn), Striped Perch , Boney Bream, Tarpon or Archer fish are the most common.

Tip No 6. So you have some bait.

You have just casted your castnet into some pristine water and to your amazement your castnet is full of mullet and Cheribin. You will need a bucket with a lid and a livebait pump to ensure there survival. Using the water where you catch them is important in keeping them alive. A battery operated livebait pump is really handy in keeping your bait alive for extended periods.

Tip No 7. What Lines and hooks to use and setup.

Quality gear is premium. New Number 8 to 10 hooks. Mono Line 80lb to 100lb is advisable for handlines.

Handlines rigged with a bubble float to a sqivel. One metre under the surface is advisable as Barramundi are always looking for fish above them as they stalk them in the depths. I have found this method very good as you don't lose as much tackle as fishing on the bottom. Rigging your bait through the tail is the best method so the bait can swim naturally.

Tip No 8. Fishing rods.

Premium No 8kg to 10kg fishing rods and overhead reels are advisable when fishing on the bottom with a typical river rig. Don't forget to set your drag, as you may find your rod going into the river, and in the north its not advisable to go swimming after it.

I hope these tips have been helpful in catching Barramundi on Baits.

Tight Lines and Good Luck

Regards Greg
