Does anyone do any type of surf fly fishing? Think it would be pretty useless on the pier but maybe surf casting may be worth while...any thoughts?

I had thought of using a fly rod to catch a king....down wind & current side just let a bait drift out....Just to say I did it....thought some might get pissed though....I guess fall would be a better time when it is less crowded...no way I would even think about making cast with it....some talked about catching kings with a yoyo
off the beach would be ok, maybe with a north wind to help the cast....and NOT a crowded beach either
only fly fishing I do is from a boat or the bank of a bass-filled lake
Had thoughts of catching spanish from a boat with my old self winder till it broke ,went bought a new pflueger and starter looking at 8-9wt rods and thats as far as ive got. Up till now ive strickly caught bream on popping bugs.
Recently I spoke with a real nice guy from LAFF (Lower Alabama Fly Fishers now called Eastern Shore Fly Fishers) who told me about fly fishing in the surf.
Eastern Shore Fly Fishers
It sounded a LOT like work to me, but his latest quest was to (consistently) catch pompano on fly.
He did say the ladyfish and occasionally spanish were a 'slam dunk' fly fishing in decent conditions.
Different strokes I guess... ;-)
