First Bones of 2009




Yes, it is possible to catch bonefish in twenty-five knot winds, it's just not easy. The fish are here and so is the constant breeze, typical of winter in the Caribbean. These are the first two bonefish we've landed this year after casting to hundreds and loosing a small handful. Conditions are tough right now but the fish are here in good numbers. So if you're on your way to Vieques, practice your double-haul and be ready for some frustration. Also, pinch the barbs down on your flies. They'll be easier to take out of the back of your neck that way.
