Everything You Need To Know About Bonefishing Cat Island Bahamas

By Brian Butler


If you love to go trout fishing, the next step is to learn how to go after big bones. Bonefishing Cat Island Bahamas is the most challenging, exciting and rewarding thing you will ever do. These fish are smart and very difficult to catch. More importantly, they aren't going to respond to the same techniques that you use when pursuing trout. Following are a few, helpful tips that will allow you to attract and catch some of the biggest and most intelligent fish that you've ever come across.

It is not common for people to talk about fish as though they have a sense of smell, but bonefish are notorious for picking odors up. When you finally make your trip to the flats, spend some time rubbing local sand on your hand to rub the odors off. This is going to make you smell like a natural part of the terrain and nothing to be suspicious of.

It is additionally important to avoid smoking, putting on cologne or washing with strongly scented soaps. The best clothing for these outings will also allow you to blend in with the scenery. Stick to soft, earthy tones, rather than wearing your big, Hawaiin print shirt.

Be sure to pack a pare of wading boots for this trip. In fact, before you head out, you also want to take some time to break these in. This is important for avoiding blisters and discomfort. Bonefish spook easily and you may have to spend a lot of time wading before you actually spot and land one.

Because these fish have metal like color, they tend to blend right in. Make sure that you are always paying attention to what your guide is telling you rather than paying attention to your own sight or intuition. Guides have spent a lot of time on the flats and they have a better eye for spotting the shiny, flashes of movement that you're looking for.

During their feeding times is the best time to try positioning your fly. Get this as close to their faces as possible because you definitely want the fish to see it. Once your fly reaches the flat bottom, try it around a bit. This causes the fly to appear as a shrimp that is in the middle of feeding and increases your likelihood of having the fly get picked up on.

You also have to be very quiet while out on the flats. Bonesfish do not make it to their impressive sizes by being stupid. If they suspect that anything is amiss, they will instantly flee the scene. Thus, you never want to stomp loudly on the boat bottom or drop heavy items on the boat floor. Be mindful of the fact that the wind can quickly change directions on the flats. You will have to constantly adjust your casting direction and strength in order to land your fly right on target. Practice casting into and away from the wind ahead of your big trip.

Stealth is absolutely critical when fishing for bones. Always be quite and always make every effort to naturally blend in with your surroundings. If you can effectively sneak up on these fishes and are capable of positioning your fly just right, you may be able to bring in a fish of truly impressive proportions.
