Captain Diego Cordova can take you to where the
elusive and stealthy bonefish roam in search of food such as
crustaceans, small eels and shell fish. These translucent mirrored
fish transit some of the most beautiful shallow waters that you will
ever set eyes upon. While in search of these ghostly,
well-camouflaged fish, you may encounter and do battle with the most
feared enemy of the sea - the eating and hunting machine known to man as
the Shark! Yes, you can be fishing for bonefish and
encounter many species of shark including the sand, bonnet head, black
tip, lemon, dusky, spinner, tiger, and even one of the most feared in
these waters, the great Hammerhead, and the monster Bull shark, which
can reach lengths of up to 15 feet in the deeper waters of the channels
and bridges connecting our islands. It is common to have these
sharks come and attack the fish when they get hooked, and it takes skill
from both the angler and the skipper to avoid losing your catch to these
predators. The experience is unforgettable and the show is
explosive just inches away from the boat. Sometimes the fish wins,
other times they end up being lunch, but the angler always walks away
with an unforgettable memory and a bond with the wild not found anywhere
else. Just the fight of a screaming big bonefish upon being hooked
is enough to burn the drag on any reel of low quality. Many times
we have had to release from an anchored position to chase the fish down
because the 200 yards of line in the reel have come near the end and the
fish won't stop running! |

Bonefish pound for pound
are the hardest and toughest fighting fish in
the sea. They are very wary and skittish because the bonefish
feed in such shallow water. It takes stealth, proper casting, and a
good technique to be a successful bonefish fisherman. But with a little
practice even the novice can acquire enough skill to be successful
at bone fishing.
