Bonefishing in the Bahamas

This morning my dad and I rallied early, around 630am, to set out on a half - day fishing charter. We were lined up with capt. Phil who was to take us down to the east end to fish the flats. We drove about an hour to end and were then dropped off on the side of the road near a pier. After about 15 uncertain minutes a small boat powered up and motioned us aboard. It was GT, our guide, we ran out to the flats over beautiful blue-green water which was at most 5 feet deep. He took us up right to a great spot and began teaching us how to spot the Bonefish. They move in schools but given their color they can be hard to see. It was a day full of sight casting and good fishing. We ended up landing 4 average size and 1 larger bonefish that our guide decided he would keep for his dinner. It was an awesome day on the water all-around. We board the ship early tomorrow and will depart sometime around happy hour.

Best,
Jeff
