    I really enjoy your videos. Just the right amount of info. People can't remember lots of detail, especially when they are fishing and are excited. Fundamentals are what you need and then let the guide get into specifics. Well done.

    Bone fish tips 101 , when doing videos make sure you have a muff on you microphone, this is a great informative video, I wish bones were as plentiful here in the Tampa Bay Area , as they are there ,is to much run off here the water quality is perfect for them , but will make a run down to the keys one day and give it a shot , thanks for posting👍🏼

      Thank you, I never go on these trips with the intention of doing a film so often I don't bring anything more than a GoPro or a phone, but I'm getting better and now have a good DJI mic with the dead cat muff so hopefully in the future I'll get the audio smoothed out.

      Excellent! You'll love it. It's good adrenaline when you spot that fish, make a stalk, then choose when to deliver that perfect delicate cast. Like bowhunting with a fly.

    One thing I’d suggest when doing that calibration cast to find out what they call twenty yards is, is measure out how much line you cast out in arm lengths too.

      Yes indeed. Classy. The Sextant is a fabulous rod. I fished the 8 and 9 weights a ton and will post a review very soon.

    The great thing about bones is they are more common than some think. At my favorite Yucatan resort surrounded surrounded by Mex. NWR has nice grass beds, springs, rocks and flats... and plenty of bones. The sargasso sucks, but their are still plenty of bones where the habitat is decent. High winds, sargasso and murky water are the norm, so sight fishing doesn't always work, at least where I am right now.

    • @redsflyshop

      Great point, there is a lot of fishing to be done if you are willing to look close while others drive by. Good reminder.

      @@redsflyshop On days with low wind and calm surf you can see schools of them practically up to the water's edge when snorkeling. Unfortunately those days can be rare where we stay, but I did have some luck one afternoon. What a fight those guys offer. My first bone of any size and it fought like a fish gone crazy.
