Spending time with a guide helps to learn the behavior patterns of these spooky fish. Also very helpful in learning how to spot them cruising the flats.

Check the Weather Forecast ahead of time. May need to Reschedule your fishing trip

Anything.. Trolling was slow then we started bottom fishing and it was on fire it was on fish after another.

Bring everything you think you might need and don't expect 5 star This is an out island proper style.

Great fishing but be prepared to go and look for it, friendly people great bars [Maxs conch bar, Tinys] etc beautiful place to be.

I fished with Capt Eddie of First Strike. I had a great experience, so I would recommend you book with him.

The water gets deep closer to shore than you think. It is a short trip to deep water, a 4 hour trip is efficient. Reel that fish in quick, sharks will snag your fish before you know it.

The inshore reef fishing, bonefish on a fly rod and snapper with a bait caster, was a great experience. So many types of fish, but not enough time to catch them. There is also so much more to the trip than just fishing. The ecology of the area is incredible, sharks, rays tarpon, barracuda, turtles.. Not to mention the most beautiful water I've ever seen, and I have fished in many places in the world. My fun meter was pegged.

Just remember even though it can be a peak fishing month that it is still fishing not catching so respect the guides!

Spend a little extra and go for a bigger boat. We had a 55 foot boat for 6 of us and I'm glad we went bigger instead of less expensive

Yes. The ease to get to fishing waters is unlike anything I have experienced.

Try the deep sea fishing for half the trip and if not catching anything try the bottom fishing. You need to have patience and relax and enjoy the experience. When you do catch something it is great.

Be prepared to spend long hours in hot sun. A guide is the best way to take advantage of reaching good number of bonefish. Be ready to have a blast fighting these awesome fish!!
