Bonefish

    When bonefish are hooked,
    they make a very strong
    opening run pulling out line
    unbelievably fast.  They will
    continue to make runs

throughout their fight, but they will get shorter as they get tired.  It is
found mostly in the warm waters of Florida, the Bahamas, Bermuda,
Caribbean islands, Cuba, Mexico, Hawaii and many Pacific islands.

The bonefish is an inshore fish that is mostly caught from waders or in
shallow draft flats boats.  They are almost always caught by sight-
fishing while wading or being poled along the flats on a boat.  They
spook easily making them tough to approach.

Catching Bonefish

To consistently catch bonefish, you must have good vision or be with
someone that has good vision so you can see the fish before you spook
them.  Once you see the fish, you have to make a precise cast to get a
strike.  Fly rods and spinning rods are most commonly used.  Shrimp or
crabs are the most popular baits; however, many fishermen use
artificials.  Jigs and flies that resemble crabs and shrimp are the most
effective lures for catching bonefish.
