    Yip, absolute blast and my new abel reel took quite a pounding. Luckily they were close inshore because casting clousers with a 4 wt was not the easiest thing to do, especially as I was using my 10 wt earlier in the morning - serious adaptation required....

    Never fished in the salt berore but a decent GT (does'nt have to be humangus 80-100cm would be just fine) and a nice Dorado (say 8-15 kg) would be on my wish list the day I pick up a fly rod in the salt!
