Bonefishing
in the Middle Keys, Islamorada and Marathon |
BONEFISH - ALBULA VULPES
 |
Poling along gin clear flats sight casting
to tailing Bonefish in 6 to 12 inches of water can be the
most heart stopping experience a fisherman can endure. As
the tide falls or rises, Bonefish will move on to and invade
shallow water flats in search of shrimp, crabs, and small
fish. Whether spin fishing or fly fishing, the challenge of
catching the world's smartest fish awaits you. When the moment
arrives and you set the hook, be prepared for the most incredible
spool smoking run that no other fish can match. |

| BONFISH NOTES |
Prime Bonefish Time
July and August are my favorite times to bonefish in the Islamorada Backcountry. Calm mornings and prime tides bring swarms of tailing bonefish.
March - I have a lot of success fishing in Marathon this time of year. Depending on water temp, March can bring hordes of bonefish to the boat. Multiple fish days are not uncommon. This year I broke my personal record with 15 bonefish in one day. A triple header too! |

FLY FISHING FOR BONEFISH
Flippin' the Chicken
 Fly fishing for bonefish can be more productive than using live bait especially on calm days where the slightest disturbance can send a bonefish running. A gently placed fly can be devastating and extremely
effective. October and November are the best months for catching bonefish over 10lbs. but as far as my favorite month, I would
have to go with July. Tons of bonefish averaging 5-10 lbs invade the flats in the summer time for early morning feeding. Personally, I think this is the best time to bonefish in general. Click here for the fly tier's bench

FISHING FOR BONEFISH ON SPINNING TACKLE
Shrimp and Crabs
 I always have people that tell me,
"I want to go bonefishing but I don't know how to flyfish."
I'm not sure where this misconception came from but it is
absolutely false. Bonefish are always willing to eat a well
tossed shrimp or crab. It is true that on calm days it can
get frustrating but with a little patience, you will have
that bonefish screaming at the end of your line in no time.
