bleeding bait fish fly

Ok, lets pump some life into this forum.

How about some peanuts?

Tat, now THAT is a fish catching fly if there ever was one. I'll be making many of those this winter.

Hey Mike, I would have asked you to use this picture but your in some foreign land right now, and I'm pretty sure you would say yes anyway.


The real thing.......

....and the not so real thing.

Looks better wet.

Tough to get much closer than that.

saltydog Very nice baitfish, would look better hanging out of a fishes mouth. :laughs:

:D thanks, would be NICE to find some fish to try one on.

TATTOO, thats to NICE to throw to to BLUE FISH,
( I assume thats why you have a wire leader on it). I always use OLD flys for the chopper blues. TYIN up some BABY CANDY today. Ill post them Monday,
:D 'GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN":cool:

Salty, Had the wire on becuase it was a mix of bass and blues. The bass didnt care that day.

Let me see what else I can dig out of the flybox.....

I like to use any number of bait fish imitations. I use the same flies that you would use on stripers. But smaller say a # 2 or 1/0 short shank hook. {long shanks will work too it all depends on what those little rascals are feeding on} Sand eels tied with olive green and white buck tail. Muddler minnows tied with olive green buck tail instead of natural buck tail. A gray ghost streamer works well to.Gibbs striper fly tied on a # 2 hook. A small note about the gray ghost fly. One day in the last millennium ,(early 70's) I was fishing for sea runs at the mouth of the creek, (early June) with a gray ghost fly Tied on a # 2-6x long shank hook. The flow was moving out with a good rip running at the end of the jetty, when something hit the fly and started to take off for P-town .{I was using a 5wt. rod for the little guys.} I got the chance to see a 20lb striper move out of the rip and into the breaking waves on my side of the beach. The reel was screaming and the backing almost gone when the line went limp. I reeled in what I though was only going to be backing. When to my surprise I found out that I had everything, even the FLY !!! The hook had straighten out on me and popped loose from the fish. Earlier that week I had tied up some gray's on 2/0 hooks just for the fun of it. Well, the 2/0's were tied on and 2 hours later I had landed my first 4 striped bass. From then on I became a STRIPER NUT !!! Hope I didn't bore you with my story. THE KID

KID, glad to hear you had a good time playing w/them
(gray ghost), seems that fly can be use for almost anything, an will cath fish. will have to do some up.thanks
