Welcome to The Bonefish Flat
There's a stiff wind in your face as you squint in the sun trying to see what the guide sees. "Bonefish at 12 o'clock about 90 feet, do you see it, mon?" You don't and keep squinting, your hat pulled low to keep the sun out of your eyes. "Bonefish at 11 o'clock 70 feet out. Come on man, do you see it?" As the guide is calmly shifting the skiff into position, this time you spot the fish, "I got, it," you reply.
"OK, Mon, Bonefish 50 feet at 10 o'clock. Cast when you're ready."
Cast when you're ready. And with that you drop your fly, roll out a cast, false cast once, and then...
Welcome to the bonefish flat.
Could the BP Gulf Oil Spill Put Tarpon on the Endangered Species List?
Could the BP Gulf Oil Spill Put Tarpon on the Endangered Species List?
Here's an article from the Examiner talking about the potential effects of the oil spill on Tarpon. This is so frustrating, why can't they plug a damn hole. As we think about fathers day, I sure hope this spill doesn't mean I can't take my son tarpon fishing. Apparently the location's where Tarpon spawn are the same area's where the oil slick is hanging underwater.
Unbelievable.
