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 [...]

Blue Fins and All… (Pt. II)

December 28, 2000 Today I’ve decided not to go fishing. Instead thought I’d merely practice casting. There is a small flat a few minutes from home that’s perfect for this—shallow water, wide open spaces, and no mangroves to grab errant back-casts. I’d even occasionally seen bonefish there, but not today; today, it was just practice. [...]

Blue Fins and All… (Pt. I)

December 28, 2000 The year is almost out and I’m faced with the very real prospect of having fished nearly all of it without catching a single one. And I mean fished, seriously fished.

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 [...]

Travel Log: Last Cast of the Day

March 21, 2011 7:42 p.m. Tide: Low, rising. Wind: ENE, 8-10 knots. Long day, longer with the piss-poor fishing, the worst we’ve had here, ever. In our memories we could project ourselves back to that magical land where we found flats dotted with schools of tailing bones; today we don’t recognize the place. Even the [...]

The Indian Ocean Chronicles: Day VIII

The Momentum is Fading Barjack the Angler Thunder Bay Indian Ocean March 4, 2011 Day VIII Yesterday I staked out on a rock perch looking for GT’s for two and a half hours in the wind and rain… Why? What else do I have to do? I was on a nice point in the lagoon [...]
