I've never really fished any salt water, Heck I live in Ohio 12 hours from

So, quite naturally I have decided delve into salt water fishing. *Now, I am
not a good trout fisherman by any means but I catch a few and my 'fun
factor' and enjoyment of the sport is right up there with anybody's, so I am
thinking, heck, why not?

I've done just a little research and know that I could fish runs and river
mouths and maybe even reefs with my 8 weight...at present I have only a
sinking tip but have a spare spool for a full sinking...

I am wondering if I should go to a 9 or 10 or even more weight and/or
investigate ...ummm....what do you call them? *"shooting heads?" *Do those
allow greater distance or greater depth?

Now, I am not asking anyone to school me or go out of their way...but a
comment *and a link would be sincerely appreciated....

...maybe I could even get an eye patch...har, har, har me maties!

john, the only real salt water ffing i have done involved average
sized bones on the island of bonaire, so i'm far from an expert.
however, i believe you could get by down east in the old north state
with a 9 by 9 and floating line for most fly fishing efforts. you are
just not going to have fun trying to catch much of anything really
deep.
waldo or jeffie are far more fecund sources than i, however.
maybe they'll be along, soon.

if you get down this way in the spring, stop by at the big house
in rowan county for another little country excursion.
