I'm new to fly fishing for reds, but I'm addicted!!!

I've only caught a couple dozen reds on the fly so far, so I'm still a super green newb. I'm amazed at how many times you can pick it up and put it down and they just search for it when they hear it hit the water. I've been using a combo from Kastking for the last couple of months, and just bought a Sage reel and some Scientific Angler redfish line(8wt) the difference in casting is like night and day. I have cut my false cast number in half to get the same distances.
Here's a video I made from the other day with my dog. I didn't want it to run too long so all the reds at the beginning are the ones that didn't make the cut.(caught a bunch of reds on the fly that day)

First redfish to eat one of my tied lures.(the huge crazy fiddler crab fly)

Here's some reds I caught on a fly I made from a green ratchet strap and a orange whistle lanyard with brass eyes and a feather. This was two days after the video.
My PB Flounder on the fly.(ate a shrimp pattern)
Caught this girl out of a school of tailing reds under the birds.
My first Topwater red! I was super stoked about that eat.
This was the day my flyfishing addiction really took hold. My first flounder and redfish on the fly in the same day.(about 20mins apart)
