Sea Robin Rising

I fished in the bay side of Rockaway last Wednesday evening.
The water was very calm because the wind was blowing from land to sea.

I tested the new shooting line that I bought in Japan.
The line is thin and slick that I could easily cast the fly beyond 40 yards with fair wind.

I enjoyed the long distance casting.








I caught a small sea robin.









The interesting part of this evenig was that many sea birds (terns) were flying on the beach.
Some formed a group, then one bird after another dived into the water.
I also saw many fish rising and poking on the surface of the water by the shore.
Later I found out they were sea robins.
They were like trouts rising in the river.









Almost at the end of the video, a sea robin can be seen rising close to the center of the screen.
