Nice size fish willing to play today. He was swimming “upstream” with the northbound current. Glowing in the morning light, I swung the fly just off his patch and he slid over and ate no hesitation. BOOM! Seems like the season is wide open just this week. Time to get your feet in the sand.

C A L I 🐟 F L A T S • • • The last day of September and another day of perfect conditions out on the corbina grounds. @benjiekimfishing , @heath_lures and I coincidentally met up for an unplanned @california.surf.anglers outing. We definitely found the bean pot but the players were way too reluctant. Wolfpack’s on the south side with sigles doing the dine and dash on beds to the north. Awesome time!,We live to fish another day!! • • • #corbina #surffishing #flyfishinglife #flyfishing #flatsfishing #corbinaonthefly #corbinastories #fishstories #wadeforit #fishon #sageflyfish #galvanflyreels #rioproducts #redingtongear #patagonia_flyfish (at Lil' Bean) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Dqqn1h3sO/?igshid=c4pe1rfwtyui

Epic Ambassador @kameronbrown out there doing it on our FastGlass 686 👌 - nice job buddy! 💪💥 . ・・・ I CAUGHT ONE!!! • Name that fish?! • West Coast Bonefish..... I swear it's been years that I've been targeting these things and it wasn't until today that I stuck my first one.... I actually landed two and the other was a baby. I strip set too hard on 2 others earlier with 8lb and snapped them off like a goon. Swapped out for 12lb and stuck this little princess just before the tide got too high. MAN, I AM ONE HAPPY DUDE. Huge thanks to @swiftflyfishing for making my custom fly rods, @hatchoutdoors for providing the best reels ever (that I can stuff in sand and it still works like it just came out the box, @spyoptic for my killer Polarized sunnies, @howlerbros for keeping me clothed and not naked, and @glenn_ueda for keeping the stoke alive!

Typical slider this time of year. Yesterday with my 30lb child on my back, I broke off two big fish. The first fish busted at the eye of the hook which made me think I tied a shit knot, but then the second fish busted at my bloodknot. The only thing I can think of is the flouro that’s been in my car all summer (and maybe longer) was compromised. Take care of your materials and don’t be like me!

Tail magazine just came out with a west coast issue. I shot all the photos in the spotfin article! Check it out.

Been great fishing the last few days. If only they were around in the skinny a bit longer throughout the year.

First thug of the ‘21 season. Found great structure, just no players. This fish was the only one I saw consistently coming up onto the flat looking for food. Tracked him for 10 minutes then took my shot. It doesn’t always come this easy.

Mini bean with my mini me. Callum gets so stoked to inspect the fish closer before we let em go.

This fish managed to make my giant gorilla hands look not so giant.

One of my nicest fish on the season. Big fat female with a huge belly full of eggs i believe. She was cruising solo, I managed to drop my fly just to her right, give it a short strip, and she hammered it immediately. So stoked on this one.

Been taking my boy with me down to the beach mostly to feed him snacks as he tries to pull off my hat and sunglasses. Occasionally I’ll get a shot at a fish. This is our best fish together so far. Lean, but long @20″. I love fishing with the boy and showing him all the life the beach holds.

Early Father’s Day gift to myself. Nice size bean that ate my offering on the drop. This doesn’t happen often, usually when my fly is sinking into a bucket.

[goneclamming-afishingblog]

Found some tasty structure this week. Also found a fellow fly angler a bit too far out past where the fish would have been sliding in.

Letting the beast swim off to continue looking for food, grow bigger, make babies.

Made some “bean fink” stickers. LMK if you want some!
