My last post was dedicated to one of the most sort after sportsfish so I thought I would continue in that vein and post a great little angling video of one of my favorite fish - the bonefish.
These great fish are a top angling target because of the fight they offer anglers as well as the great exotic tropical locations they are caught in. They are most often targeted on fly gear, but they can be caught with most of the popular methods of fishing. Bonefish form large schools over the flats where they feed and are targeted by anglers trying to spot the fish (called flats fishing). They are not often taken for food and although they are edible they are quite bony (hence the name).
The bonefish can reach 10kg and over 100 cm and feed mainly on small crustaceans and worms living in the sand. Like tarpon, they are also known to be able to breathe air from the surface of the water.
Enjoy the video

The fish looks as amazed as u, nice photo capture.
Bonefish pound for pound are the hardest fighting fish there are.
After 2 weeks of bonefishing in Venezuela I have to agree, bonefishing with a fly is the best way of fishing. Interesting and visual fishing and terrific fights. I have written a report on the subject on my blog which you might find interesting.
Great post. I absolutely love the video.
I gotta try this...
My trip is booked - whoo!!
