Headed to Crooked Island

[meadowlark2]

Anyone been to the Bahamas recently that would care to comment on flies the bones were chasing? Thanks.

[old geezer]

Meadowlark2, enjoy the fishing.

#1 JC"S Pink Puff 4-8
#2 Crazy Charlies 6-8
#3 Gottchas 6-8
#4 Crab flies 4-8

The colors to match the bottom of what your fishing. Pink, Tan, and darker if you are hitting the grass flats.

A weed guard would be in order and some with a little weight to get down quicker.

My best shot to help out

Excus my spelling and gramma, I hooked Mondays and Fridays so I could Hunt or fish.

Thanks Philip. Was there a couple of years ago and the Gottchas were the hot item...will add the puffs to my list. Thanks again.

Gotchas still work. I have a whole box devoted to Gotchas. I tie them in a variety of sizes (2-6) with different eyes to be able to fish them in all different conditions.

Yep, Gotchas still work! I caught 32 bones in 3 days. If any of you subscribe to the Angling Report, you can catch my report in an upcoming issue. The operation on Crooked Island has new management and the article in AR will address the "before and after" relative to the management change.

Bonefish are still bonefish and still like the Gotchas best of anything else I threw at them.
