The striped bass bite has really picked up on the fly rods from shore along with a deluge of huge bluefish. Over the past few weeks we have been able to get some really big bluefish on the Enrico Puglisi Pike fly in fire tiger. It is made from synthetic fibers and can really hold up to a lot of crushing blows from the bluefish. This fly can take a beating even after getting bloodied and twisted up all it takes is a few casts to dry out the fly and hit is a couple times with a comb to have it back up and catching more.
The striped bass are also active in hitting big bright flies with all chartreuse being their favorite. Work these slower than you would for bluefish and change up speeds for success right now.
