Finally Happened- South Bay
Only took 5 years but i finally landed a bonefish- kinda
Day1- Fished with Chris, the current was flowing and the spotties were biting for me , everything biting for him
Me: Loads of spotties, 1 missed bonefish at the board
Chris: Spotties, corvina, halbut, bones
Decided i needed to get back out and try again so i went solo a few days later and the bite was much slower, and almost no current movement. Each time the water would move the fish would bite, including 1 not so smart bonefish that made its way onto my board but didnt stick around long enough for a photo.

They reminded me of giant Sardines…it took me 10 dedicated trips before I landed 3 in 30 minutes.

Re: Finally Happened- South Bay
That’s a catch for sure.
This bonefish is probably my biggest from a month ago. Bit a 4” white swimbait on a Warbaits Neckbreaker of all things. Barely had it hooked with their smaller hard mouth.

Re: Finally Happened- South Bay
Thanks for the post! I was going to write my own but I will just add to this one. That was an epic day on the water and not even half of the fish we caught made my video. I can't wait to get out there again soon. Cheers!
