We left Wilson's Wharf at around 09h00 for a quick 3 hour fly fishing session round the bay with 5wt rods looking for little Kingfish. I know it is actually too early in the season but worth a look anyway.

It was awesome in the bay with little wind and overcast; the tide had just turned and was starting to come in over the sand banks.

We looked around at a few spots and there was very little mullet activity and we looked around at a few spots not finding anything.

So we changed down to 4lb leaders and tiny flies and eventually found some little Yellow Fin (AKA Black Tip) King Fish. They were in perfect condition and cute.

Love nature and outdoors, Am very conservation minded and have a passion for birds. I am crazy about big Tuna, Marlin Fishing and Game Fishing, and also love light tackle spinning, am a total lure junkie. Represented my province in fly fishing for many years and am also pro staff for Rapala/Shimano.

As a writer I have my own quote: \"I love taking people fishing because it releases their inner child, and in doing so keeps my inner child alive.\"
