My first saltie was a ladyfish and yes I was thrilled with it. I had been wanting to flyfish the salt for many, many years. I have not heard them called skipjack but they are fun to catch on lighter fly rods. Last winter I got into a bunch of speckled trout in the New Smyrna Beach area and I really enjoyed that too. I did kill one to try on the table and it was excellent. On par with walleye IMO. When I get some sort of water craft I will give the skipjack a whirl on the fly. It is about all I do anymore. I am not a purist but I just get more personal satisfaction when I catch on the fly. The sad part of that is I am not all that good of a caster but I have only myself to satisfy.
