      Yep. We'll be needing some pics.

        Just spoke to G, he's having a fine time but frustrated about lack of internet, says he's got some great photos he's gagging to share with us  😠

        @Finn - apparently you owe him a beer or two!

          Am sure he's jonesing for a fix. He's more habitually addicted to the internet than most of us :). Serves him right going somewhere with shitty internet and having a wonderful time 😘

            So "Come to Papa" does work…

                      After I had my Cuda, we cruised past a larger one.  It was Jims turn (bastardo)…

                                  Stalking Bonefish.

                                  I know there is a small group of Bones up in this creek.  Impossible to follow them in because if a hooked fish goes into the Mangroves, then I won’t be taking that particular fly home with me.  So I wait patiently here for them to come out, the tide is ebbing, so they will have to move into deeper water at some point.  I have upped my tippet to 15lb and adjusted the drag on my reel to super heavy, both in an attempt to hold a hooked fish from busting me in the mangroves.  Now it is a waiting game.  Phillip is on the boat about 50yards behind me so as not to spook the fish.

                                  Success.  A group of 3 snuck down the left hand side of the channel and I intercepted them with a fly that imitates a small shrimp.

                                    Cuda modified “Come to Papa”.

                                    Cuda of about 50lbs which we had stalked, hit this like it was going to be its last meal.

                                    Cuda 1, “Come to Papa” nil.  The new hole in the lure is Cuda tooth.  One of the reasons you never put any part of you close to a Cudas mouth….

                                    And that is what he did to a 55lb trace…
