Going to Rocktail Bay

[Quintin]

Hi

Im going to Rocktail Bay the long weekend in September and im fairly new to the saltwater fly fishing scene...

If someone can just give me some advice on how to target three spotted pompano and the kingfish in the area(flies and tactics) I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Thanks
Quintin

You cant go wrong with and intermediate line and smallish clousers #2-8 in various colours. chart/white white and all black work well

Good place to go, are you staying at Mqubela or Camp Dawid? Do take along some salty Buggers as well as small clousers,and don't forget the pink crazy charlies.You should fish beyond the point at rocktail where the rocks end and the sand start.

Hey Quintin

Just spent 4 days in that area. Caught many pompano's on #6 pink and brown and olive crazy charlies. even caught a 12cm leerie and mullets as well. southern pompano, greenspot kingies and a monster 46kg GT came out as well on conventional tackle though.
The guys at mqubela camp said black poppers work really well for kingie at night right in the bay.

I caught everything in the bay and to the left (north), don't worry about long casts when targeting pompanos, they're real close. I caught some in ankle deep water.
A garfish and BIG pompanos came out at black rock as well. The fishing is starting to pick since last month.

good luck
