Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
The following trip was with local angler Dan who wanted to catch his first big bonefish. We got an early start and right away there were tailing bonefish all around us. Ha, it turns out the first school of trailers coming at us, Dan made a perfect cast and Hooke dup. Wow! After a long run and a n awesome fight he landed his first big bonefish, on the first cast of the trip!!!! We landed another bonefish shortly afterwards and had plenty more shots. When the dust settled we had accomplished our mission and at the right time as the fishing died off after that. It's about timing I guess.
On to the following day with regular clients Arman, Josh and Benji. What a trip! We hit one spot and lever moved as it was solid fishing from the onset. Although we landed a number of species including keeper mangrove snappers and nice jacks we lost way too many nice fish. Josh had the hot hand and the curse as he must have lost 5-6 really nice fish that would burn up the drag and once they settled down the hook would pull or they would break us of on structure. Ouch that hurt. One fish we did see was a 40 lb jack that ate his bait next to the boat and then took off like a freight train. We chased it but a few minutes into the fight the hook pulled. That sucked!
The last trip of the week was with Josh, John and Andrew for a full day of bone fishing. Just like my trip with Dan, it was on fire early morning and then dead once the day progressed. But, when it was hot it was hot! The guys ended the morning flurry landing 5 bonefish, the first for John and Andrew. But, it gets better. John landed his first bonefish, a 12 pounder and a 6 pounder. Wow, that's the way to do it. Andrew got his first bonefish too, one being 10 lbs and the other at about 8lbs. Man, these guys crushed it! All these fish we caught sight fishing as they were tailing in super calm shallow water. What a morning and what a week!
