I found lots of tailers over the grass oceanside of Ambergrise Caye a few years back. It was a little windy but good fishing. The bones were aggressive and eager for small pink flies. So, if that's all grass oceanside there I'd think you'd find bones there. I would imagine there’d be bones wherever the water was shallow enough.

Oh I am getitng the flats fever now! Anyway, I'm going to Belize in Aug. and plan to do some DIY fishing myself. We'll be on this tiny caye St. Georges. I've fished the flats a few times in Belize and Bahamas so I've got limitied experience, but confident I can spot/catch fish. I doubt there will fish right off our caye but I will have a kayak so I figure I've got a few miles I can navigate. Here's my location http://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=17.557792,-88.071985&spn=0.031505,0.087547&z=14 Since I've mostly fished with guides, except a prior caye in Belize in Glover's Reef that had schools of bones frequenting the island, can I use Google maps to pick my fishing spots? Where and what would you look for? Any books on DIY flats fishing? When I've had a guide I never paid to much attention where we were going, it's like when somone else is driving you don't pay much attention to the road signs. And while kayaking about looking for fish all day is not the worse thing I could do with my days I'd like to think I was at least heading in the right direction in my search/hunt. Hell, I'm pretty sure the resort even has sail boats so my range could be even further if i take to the high seas! Just gotta remember how to tack so I can make it home upwind. Any advice would be helpful and thanks for the great blog :) Loved the story in a lot of ways! Oh I am getitng the flats fever now!
