Goatfish on the Fly


Since the Sun is up longer now, I left work around 1700, went home to grab my flyrod and rode my bike to a spot that I saw loaded with bonefish yesterday.

They were there again today, but the wind picked up a bit (my luck huh?).

I cast out nevertheless and after a few cycles, I hooked into this fun yellowstripe goatfish. I was using an "absolute flea" fly. It took the line and wrapped me around three different piles!!!! I had to unwrap the line manually but this guy was not able to break off.

Released it to fight another day.

I did see a bunch of bonefish grubbing around the bottom, but they wanted nothing to do with my flies. Seemed like they were going for really small crustaceans.

There is always tomorrow...
