Ok we have all seen the amazing videos on TV that show an angler catching the illusive bonefish. Well, if you think you want to come and try let us go over a few ideas to prepare.
1. Practice your cast: Use an object in your yard and stand 35 feet away and hit it with your lure, numerous time. Try this in wind at different angles. Practice Practice Practice!!!
2. Go alone on your trip. While watching you bonefishing shows notice that you will never see 3 people on a boat. It is unrealistic to think a guide can pole you and your friends on the flats with that much weight for an extended amount of time. Bringing extra anglers limits the place you can get to.
3. RESEARCH you captains. Don’t go to the destination and think you will find an experienced guide who can bonefish. It takes a dedicated guide to located the bonefish because the guide has to do his homework. A good guide will scout the day before to locate the packs of bonefish.
4. If a guide puts you on fish and you were unable to cast to them make sure you understand the guide did his part and ask yourself if you did yours! Practice, Practice, Practice.
5. You will only get a few shots so make them count
More to come!!!
