April 15, 2015 Report (Bonefish!)

I've been fishing the Bonefish Bonnies flats tournament out of Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo for several years now and today Joann and Eleanor boarded my skiff for another have at this fun tournament. When Eleanor jumped aboard she didn't know how to cast and told me it would be a miracle if she caught a fish, any fish. Getting into some permit and tarpon but getting no hook ups, Eleanor practiced the casting lessons I gave her and being a quick learner, was off to the races. Not only did she catch fish, she landed an 11lb bonefish on 8lb test! Way to go Eleanor. As lines out was closing in Joann hooks a monster fish that peeled line at an amazing pace but cut her off a few minutes into the fight after the initial run. NO! We all had a great time and Eleanor thanked Joan for talking her into joining her today. Great job ladies!
