We have been coming down to Eleuthera (an Outer island of the Bahamas) for 15 years. It is to DIY bone fishing what the Rockies are to DIY Elk. This afternoon I took my daughters boyfriend down island 20 miles to a favorite flat to catch the incoming tide, left my son a rigged rod and told him we’d fish when I got back.
While we were gone, the boy decided to grab his rod, tell mom he was ‘going fishing’, walked out of the house 20 yards down the beach, made one cast and caught his first bonefish. His sister helped him land it and Mom came out and got the pic...which I got as a text after getting skunked.
It took me a lot of trial, error and failure to catch my first bonefish on a fly rod. This kid did it by himself in 5 minutes. What a natural
