DIY Bones… Somewhere in the Caribbean

Found the following over on ThisRiverIsWild. Not the sort of thing I usually post—swaggish vid posts—but I am legitimately jealous about this. Also, I wish to hell I knew where they were… and respect the hell out of them for not revealing that juicy bit of info. Seeing the awesomeness of this particular post  you [...]

Amateur Bones…

A little video one of our guests cooked up on a recent trip to our little rock. (Yes, we actually get people wanting to fish with us… yeah, we don’t get it either, but it keeps the bartenders happy!) Just to be clear, this was on his own after a little bit of guiding from [...]

Key’s Chronicles: Early Season

Day I: Late start, low tide, breezy. Oceanside: small groups, singles, and doubles. Second cast: hooked up! Jump, jump. Sweeeet. Drag singing.

Travel Log: Pink Sands & Bonefish

  March 21, 2011 2:41 p.m. Tide: Slack High… possibly Falling. Wind: NNE, 15 knots. Coconuts no longer amuse us, and the bonefish have stubbornly persisted in their absence. Except for a brief window where the clouds parted and I chase a cruising pair, splashing my way to the leeward as I followed them in [...]

Return of the Flats Bandito

The flats bandit returns to the beach to snag some bones. But the wind is up and the fish are biting shy (so he claims), and his line ties itself into unreasonable knots at the fish’s request. (Talk about your wind knots!) What is this and what will be the answer? Tunes: Fat Freddy’s Drop, [...]
