Saltwater fly fishing has its roots tangled up with the mangroves’ on the shallow marl-and-turtle grass flats of South Florida.  So it may simply be tradition that drives saltwater fly anglers toward “sight fishing”—the technique of seeking out specific fish and attempting to cast right into their feeding window.  Sight fishing is most often associated with Florida species—bonefish, permit, and tarpon—but the sport’s purists can also try their hand right here in North Carolina, during the false albacore season.

It’s a common joke that fishermen spend more dollars per-pound on their catch than any market could possibly charge.  But if there is one species that might put your ledger into the black, it’s the pompano.  These fish — which carry the highest market price in the country — feed in the surf zone from the Outer Banks south, and the best time to catch them is through the first two weeks of October.

If you haven’t browsed our “Wiki” yet I hope you’ll do so.  North Carolina angler Capt. Mike Becker (TopsailAngler.com) has assisted in creating this compilation of fish species and fishing tackle information.  We’ve only started and will add more and more information, but here is an introduction to our Tackle Wiki from Capt. Mike.

Until a year or so ago I didn’t know what “wiki” meant.  Actually It’s an old word with a new application.
