Giles Goes Bonefishing 2014
-
Watch those ankles biters, and have a safe trip.
I will. Phillip nearly lost his thumb on a flat 17 miles from the dock one day. He was fishing on his own and was returning a Bonefish to the water. A shark went for the Bone, when it opened his mouth to engulf it, Phillip's hand was in the way. Phillip managed to motor back to the dock and had the thumb sewn back on. The Caye is now affectionately known as Shark Bite Caye….

Godspeed!

Poor G, flight got delayed and he sat on the tarmac for over an hour which means he'll almost certainly miss connecting plane in Nassau and will have to stay there overnight and take first flight over to Andros in the morning. He calcuated he'll miss about 2 hours of fishing, so not the end of the world. In the meantime, Matt and I have our feet up and are enjoying the peace and quiet…

Just spoke to Phillip to arrange for him to pick me up from San Andros airport in the morning.
His message was basically, " I checked some of the Flats out today, you need to get your arse over here quick - the tides are perfect and there are lots of tailing bones"…
For the uninitiated, Bonefish cruise onto the Flats (shallow water) as the tide flows and if they are preoccupied with feeding, they stick their snout down and feed. Casting a fly to them when their head is rummaging around on the bottom and their tail is in the air does not spook them so much when the fly hits the water…....
