Pinfish Pattern

[skiffjockey]

Hi fellas, just started learning to tie my own stuff this year and I purchased some ep materials to tie up some baitfish flies. I saw the recent post of Enrico tying the Peanut Butter but I have searched all over the net and can't seem to find any instructions on the pinfish. I did see a link from Chalk a while back in this forum to "Drakemag" for one but the link just takes you to the homepage. Any help is much appreciated!!

fish don't normally like pinfish patterns in your area. It's tied the same way as a peanut butter. Just draw lines

Thanks hmaad29! Thats what I thought so I've tied a few minus the "drawn-on" stripes. Just curious about what you said above, are you talking about where I live (Tifton, GA) or on the big bend?? I had read in a post on here that its a go-to pattern for Tarpon that migrate up this way during the summer. I want to eventually go after those big fellas but I'm just getting started inshore with trout & reds right now. Any pattern suggestions?

Thanks Again!!

Thanks FHC! I get FF in Saltwater, but I didnt see the "Tarpon Bug" video. Will Reds eat it too??

sj go back look at the torpedo fly it should be better for here with the darker water a red fish will eat any thing
