I got an invitation by Ben to fish with him and his buddies from out of town. We went to the spot that is know to hold bone fish. I wanted to get the bone fish off my bucket list and break by 2018 skunk streak. We got to the spot by 7am for the incoming tide. I was a little concerned to see a big dredger in the canal when I arrived. The water was a little more murky then usual, but we seemed to be far enough away from the dredger that it didn't shut down the bite. It seemed that all I was getting were yellow fin croaker and small spotties while Ben and his buddies where hooking up with bone fish right next to me.
I had a small window to fish, but right before I had to go I got the right kind. (That's Ben photo bombing my trophy shot)
I was using a light trout rod which made the fight fun, the bone fish made a couple of nice runs when I got him near shore.
Now on to the big boys in the surf.
