Finally Happened- South Bay

Post by mcquade outdoors »

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.
