I have shore fished with a fly rod for many years.... as I showed some courtesy sitting on the railing on the backshore waiting for a lure fisherman to finish in discuss casting to flipping stripers and he caught none....as I settled in on the rock and cast my fly I hooked the 43 inch striper on the first cast....and caught several more fish.....I do not always bait fish... now a days I can not fish from shore... not as fortunate as UUU today...have a good day
