"Alex, 11 o'clock 30 feet, cast 10 feet in front of the wake! Tyler you cast 2 o'clock 35 feet, 10 feet in front of the wake!" That's how today started with zero wind, calm conditions and bonefish all around. Early on Tyler hooked and lost a freight train of a bonefish and then lost another one while Alex missed the bite on a third one, all within 45 minutes of our trip. What a way to start! Once the fast and furious action subsided an hour later, we poled off 100 yards and schools were coming straight at us down a shore line. School after school and shot after shot started to add up until the tide slackened and so did the fishing. So far we were licking our wounds having lost two fish, missed another bite and no matter how good the cast these guys were making, the schools of bonefish would swim over our live shrimp and not eat it, probably not seeing it. Man that was tough. But, oh but, when that tide turned I had grown concerned because most of the best fishing has been on the outgoing tide. Oh, but I said "but". Once the tide turned and started coming back in it was on and the guys got three bonefish each for a total at the end of the trip of 9 bonefish hooked and six landed. Yes, that is what summer is all about!!! Well, I'm taking a few days off for my birthday but I'll be back at the end of next week and ready to get back to work.
