Would be awesome to toss a single-hook pencil popper into that. Or better yet, a fly.

It was pretty wild. Not only were there the sharks in the school, but a bunch would swim up to the kayak checking it out. Definitely didn't want to dangle a foot in the water that day.

All the ones I saw were browns, but in Tom's video could be blacktips or spinners, especially with the warm weather this year. Never knew browns to launch themselves out of the water like that.

i do have some heavy fly rods. these guys were in casting range, 12ft 12wt 2 handed should be able to do it, if not i got a 15/16 GLX

10- to 12-weights would be fine for browns, provided you have plenty of backing.
