Here in San Diego it’s perfect in the summertime to fly fish from my SUP. In late July and Aug you don’t need a wetsuit. In this video (early July) the water cooled down to 60 but at least the sun came out. I hooked up on a little calico bass but it took me into the kelp and unbuttoned. Still loads of fun though!!!!

    @lorryt0 Hey, yes, I use a weight forward shooting head…usually 450 grain. I’ve never added any shot but I don’t think it would hurt if you really need to get down deep. Most of the time I’m going to fish in the top 10′-15′ so I’m not to worried about much deeper…although, maybe I’d catch more fish if I did! :-) Good luck! Hope that works!

    Hi Michelle I`m curious are you using a sinking line and if so do you add small shot for added weight
    Cheers

    Great vid, I was thinking of trading my fishing kayak for a paddle board. But I don’t think i could do that move you did when you lost your balance.

    I hear ya’…I only fish off my SUP. If there are waves I’ll ride my surfboard. SUPs are dangerous in the lineup!

    I use mostly deceivers and clousers…blue and white with a little flash or chartreuse and white. I’ve had the most luck with fairly low profile flies. There are some lareger baitfish patterns that I buy and trim them down a little.
