First time fly fishing in the salt

Just came back from La Paz BCS. Hired a guide in Ensenada de Muertos for some fishing. We trolled lures for a few hours then Capt said change of plan and we hit the beach inside the lighthouse. He threw live sardines to get them frenzied and I cast into the fray, tuck the rod under my arm and two hand retrieve fast. Caught many freshwater fish on the fly before, but this was next level. These boys pull hard and will bust your knuckles if you’re not careful. Bit of a learning curve but by the end I pretty much had it down. Got 8 all about this size. He said come back in May and they’re 50#! See you then Oscar!
