i catch bonefish here in san diego ca all year its so fun but its blind casting for them in 8 to 10-15 of waters... best part is its just a 12 min drive ... most bone are 12 to 15 inch but i caught one that was 21 inch max is what they seem to get ... fun on 6wt and super light spinning reels
Utilize a side cast- the butt of the rod can be welded to your hip and with a little twist you can cut the shoulder out of the equation and still do 90’ casts. I do this with my 12wt and can cast the full 120’ of line plus 15’ of backing out of the rod tip.
To be honest, it's a crazy mess of a story. About a decade ago, we bought a camera off of eBay to bring home some of our memories. (At that point we were doing DIY, sleep-in-airport trips that could be paid for with a tax refund and some travel points hacking). That camera ended up helping us land some cool images, that then got us in touch with a really talented filmmaker (our Belize video has the full story). That then led to us to dreaming up fishing films produced by ourselves (still, hacking travel costs, staying in $30 a night ecolodges, etc) which honestly? busted. We got rejected all over the place. We then re-calibrated, and focused on stories that we cared about. And there is where we started to get a little bit of traction. A photography gig here, a social media spot there. But still was a trickle and we just kept trying new things. For the next 5 years, we'd take one trip a year that we all could afford, but started to be able offset some travel (airfare) with some of the video/photo work we were doing. It truly wasn't until this project here, when we were able to leverage our talents to go and experience a full fly fishing lodge. It was a dream come true for us and we're extremely blessed and humbled by opportunities like this. But it hasn't been overnight. It's been an iterative 10 year process, with an unreal amount of setbacks.

I wish I had a really funny reply but the honest truth is that we're in editing hell and haven't finished the story! It's coming-- we promise!
