Hi Everybody, Just thought I’d share. I took a couple of friends to
one of the wadeable-no-boat-required flats in the
Upper Keys this morning. Fished the last part of the falling
and first part of the rising tides. Not long on the flat my friend
hooked & landed a nice 22” bonefish, his first (still waiting for
mine). Towards the end of the trip I managed to find a small pod of bonefish
and I successfully saw, cast to, and hooked a bonefish. If my tippet
hadn’t snapped shortly into the run I might have actually landed him! It
was pretty cool though, that was my first successful sightfish & connect to a bone. I dropped my fly
right in front of the fish, it backed off, circled and came back to it, I
stripped once, he followed, stripped twice and he took it! Also successfully sightfished,
cast to, and hooked a four foot stingray before my brain said “what are
you doing!!!” and managed to perform a long distance release (not quite
as easy as it sounds, yay
for barbless hooks). All in all, a great day! Ken (in South Florida). |
