Unlike the past trip, we had a hard time finding big amberjack yesterday. Neither Chris nor I could catch one over 25 inches! I broke out my new fly rod with sinking line on a wreck. I got my first amberjack on fly, not a big one though. After that, I got my first two snapper on fly, one was pretty nice. Unfortunately, the 2nd snapper (the bigger one) broke my the tip section on my brand new rod as I was leadering!  . I know it was a noob mistake. After that, we decided to head on in. Luckly, we found a ton of bonita in the pass to lift our spirits and complete the day. Also luckly, I had my 8 weight too! We probably caught 10 on fly between the two of us. We took video on the new flip video camera I got for christmas. It turned out pretty good:To view in high quality, click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsi0yTA8Y-g If you're lazy, click on the video below:

Good job. Those FLIPs are cool aren't they? Did you get the water proof housing too?
They say you can dive with them (10 whole feet) but I don't want to test it.

I like your videos.  I don't have the patience to edit any, lol. The high quality was really nice ~ is that a youtube feature or your camera (or combo of both?!) Either way I enjoyed it.

Thst's great stuff...thanks for taking the time to put it together.  I'm sitting here studying for an insurance exam and you're killing me. Sorry to hear about your broken rod but, unfortunately, it seems like that's a part of our sport. Best wishes to you and everyone on this site for a great New Year!

| Nice Video...just got a flipvideo for xmas also so cant wait to try it...Try using a gummy pattern for the bonita next time ....easy to cast and bonita and small black fins love them...Were the AJ's fired up and on top or did you have to chum them up? Two years ago we were off shore 5 miles and over a FAD and the AJ's were fired up and i was tossing a " gurgler" on top and the AJ's were just crushing the fly...They would follow it right to the boat...

Yes, I do need to buy some more gummy minnows.
