The invited speaker was Jimmy Jacobs Editor of the Newsletter: On The Fly South and Polly Dean, Associate Editor.
They discussed good fishing spots and recommended guides in each area. He recommended an intermediate line in many saltwater fishing situations because it prevents the line from being overcome by the waves, causing the fly to act erratically and enticingly. He suggests a 9wt rod and six-foot leader.
He has fished numerous places close to Southport – see the details in the PDF below.
