I went fly fishing on the north jetty, this Saturday. I met another flyfisherman, on the boat ride over. He said it was his second time on the jetty and asked if I fished it, with my flyrod, often. I told him I fished it as much as possible, and that I was going to the end to look for kings and jacks.
He and his family made it to the end about 25 minutes after I did. I was fishing with a friend I met on the jetty two weeks prior, and he quickly hooked a jack. It took him a couple of more hookups before he landed one.
I talked with the other flyfisherman, as we both cast into the same area of water. He was a nice guy and I can't believe I didn't get his name. As we tried to avoid hitting the boats with our cast, he hooked up. The line didn't sing like it was a jack, but it was obviously a big fish. He turned his back to me as he reached down from the mossy rocks to land his fish. As soon as he turned around I saw the nicest speck I have ever seen. It was 29 to 30 inches long and thick. If I wasn't as close as I was, I would have sworn it was a redfish. His wife took a picture, and the fish was released to fight again. He then hooked two separate jacks, and I ended up hooking one later. I still haven't landed one on the fly, but I'm getting closer.

Hey Nathan,

Good to hear you're getting some fishing in!  Any Kings at the end?  See any tarpon?

No tarpon, but kings within casting distance, with a heavy spoon.
