By Nita McKinney


The bonefish is one of the most popular fish to catch not only because are these fish very tasty when cooked under a fire, but they also present quite a challenge to those who are into the sport of bonefishing Key West. Of course before one would want to become an angler of the bonefish, he must be able to know the certain skills. Just to give anglers an idea of how to do this, here are some tips.

Of course it always pays to do homework first so that he will know what kind of foe he will be facing later on. Now just to give some basic information to beginners, the bonefish is a type of fish that can only be located in tropical regions like Hawaii or the Caribbean. Also, they like to snack on crustaceans and fish smaller than them.

After knowing some things about this kind of fish, then the next part would be to embark on the trip already. Of course before that, he must first get himself a guide who has been around the waters for a very long time. Since he knows how to get around, he will be able to know how to get the bonefish and also know where they can really be found.

Before he embarks on this little journey, then he must also be prepared with the right kind of fishing rod, lure, and other gear. Now to catch this particular type of fish, a fly fishing rod will be the most suitable one. Another thing he should do is to try and find out what the best types of lure are as well as some bait.

Now one thing to take note of is that bonefish do not really swim deep inside the water. This means that one may be able to spot one of these fish while they are swimming along the shallow parts of the water. So in order to have a successful catch, then he must make sure to have good eyesight and great concentration.

Of course in order to catch the fish, he must already have some basic fishing skills. He must know how to accurately cast the rod and he must also know how to handle it properly so that he can make sure that the fish does not escape. It is always better to practice accurate casting before going on the trip.

Now the last step would be to try to reel the fish in and finally catch it. Now take note that these fish are extremely strong and may take up the whole reel. This means that one has to make sure that his hands are extremely sturdy and that he should apply the right amount of strength so that the line does not break.

If one would want to go on a trip to the Caribbean to try to catch this bonefish, then here are some things to take note up. Bonefishing Key West is definitely one of the most challenging fishing sports ever. It takes a lot of skill, determination, technique, and concentration to succeed in this sport.
