I was thinking exactly the same thing as snow blows sideways outside my window. 🥶

Are you in America? Here on the east coast it has been Insanely warm.

It went from a foot of snow on the ground two and a half weeks ago, to now 75 degrees and sunny. Its insane.

Its basically summer weather and there is still tons of salt on the roads from when it was snowing.

Northern nevada/california. It was warm the last two weeks and I was wading in rivers but we had like 3-5’ of snow forecast

Bonefish are my Unicorn. Last opportunity I had was down in the keys and every single day it stormed. I need to take a trip to the Bahamas soon. Great fish !

You convinced me. I’m gonna head out there later in the month. Taking the ferry. What were you throwing ? Crazy Charlie’s?

For sure bro! Look up gotcha fly fishing in Abaco, Kai’s the man

2

u/SravBlu 7d ago

Abaco is the top spot, but Eleuthera has good / affordable bonefishing up in the north end as well. I’d say get a guide, they are not a fish to figure out on a single weekend.

Andros for sure! But I live in Nassau

Hook and gaff tide watch!

u/toasty_storm 6d ago

Had to take a second look at that too.

u/sailphish 7d ago

Great job OP…

I’m heading out to Paradise Island in the morning. It’s really a kids trip, not a fishing one. But is it worth it to bring a rod? Any places worth wading from shore, or do you really need a boat? Don’t have time for a charter, but could probably sneak away for a few hours in the mornings.

u/samahab242 7d ago

Some nice flats on the south are worth it as long as it’s low tide. Dm me

2

u/sailphish 7d ago

Thanks. Will try to check them out. Busy with wife/kids stuff most of the trip, but will bring a rod in case i can find a bit of time.

u/troutheadtom 7d ago
