I believe I did just the morning for 4 hours . I can’t remember exactly

This is a great video. Im going to be spending 15 days on harbour island with the boat I work on in February. May I ask what this gentlemen charged for his service? Im wondering what I will need to fork over for a guide down there. Cheers!

Btw you seem like a super cool guide, if I can swing it while were down in palm beach I may Hire you to do some snook/tarpon work.

It was 18 years ago, but I wandered along the seafront of Harbour Island, rod in hand, and over the very hard bottom there was an ENORMOUS shoal of bones just seemingly milling around aimlessly. I was told at the time that they were a permanent feature. I had all the shots I wanted but singling out any specific one was nigh on impossible. Have a wander with your polaroids on before committing to a guide. Time spent on reconnaissance is never wasted...

@@carlpasha yeah I went out with bonefish stuart today and didn’t get close enough to a single bone to make a shot. He was a nice guy though, but that’s $600 down the drain. I could do a full day drift on a river in the states for that much.

It happens. Wander around the less peopled area of shoreline, keeping an eye out. You'll see bones and they'll be in knee deep water. Depending on the time of day it can be actually easier to see the ones a long way off rather than within casting distance. Spot the far away fish and if it's coming towards you it'll be much easier to watch its approach and lay your fly down on an intercept. Even it's to the side, the bone will turn for the (supposed) meal. Consider getting onto Eleuthera proper and getting a cab to Savannah Sound. Bring some sandwiches and a cooler. It's a looooong stretch of flat and the bones come up from the deeper channel. I had bones feeding hard up against the shore. And that's where I learned they were easier to detect far away. Keep us posted! I wish I was there instead of here in the grey, cold, UK!
