What 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.

You may never have thought of fish as being able to smell, but bonefish are actually quite good at picking up on fragrances. Thus, if you are going out on the flats, you might want to carefully wash your hands in some of the dirt and gravel that surrounds the area. This will allow you to blend in.

You also want to lay off of cigars and cigarettes, avoid cologne an use unscented soaps and lotions. The top forms of clothing to wear will be designed to camouflage you and conceal you within the natural elements. Never wear a brightly colored Hawaiian shirt in favor of a simple outfit with muted and earthy colors.

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 always your biggest ally when bonefishing. Be quiet and do your absolute best to blend in with the scenery. If you are able to sneak up on a fish and present your fly correctly, you will have a good chance of hauling a healthy sized bone in.
