    Hey boys –

    I’ve never been bonefishing before, so my expectations today were tempered by a healthy dose of realism.

    This is my guide, Mervin Thomas, at Deep Water Cay Club, with a smaller fish.

    Watch out, mon; that fishing can be addictive. Sorry we couldn’t get together, especially after reading your report.

    No, I was thinking I was back in Missouri working when I should have been there fishing. Sorry if day 3 wasn’t as memorable.

    Now, to verbalize (and, to be honest, to collect my thoughts).

    Zach,
    Your perceptions regarding bonefishing in the Bahamas pretty much mirror my own with one exception.

    Hi again Zach,

    I think it is pretty unusual to see that many huge schools of bonefish rather than singles, doubles, or much smaller groups. Casting to large singles is more the norm than the exception for me.

    If I am using a guide, they are strictly Bahamians. You might let me know who the individual you got on the third day, (he would be an oddity that I would like to avoid.) For most Bahamian guides this is their business and much of it is based on repeat ‘clients’ and word of mouth.
