Efficiency has been the name of the game this past week. The bonefishing has been really slow in Biscayne Bay requiring the angler/guide to make the most of each opportunity. Yesterday I had Danielle and Greg from West Palm down for their first trip to Biscayne Bay with high hopes of catching their first bonefish. We began a with a couple of schools of permit too scattered to get within reach. Quickly switching to bonefish we worked the oceanside flats finding just a single here and a single there. Finally a school moves through and Greg makes his cast, way to the left of the moving school. A second later I give Danielle the location and distance of the school, he makes a great cast and the reel starts to scream. With one bone in the boat, a $40 bet on the line and lots of teasing from Danielle, Greg was ready to redeem himself. With the tide almost at slack and time running out we set up on a channel edge and a bit later, Greg is one, reel screaming and a big sigh of relief is heard. With two bones in the boat on a very slow day we head in having accomplished what these two good guys came to do and their friendship still intact.

This coming week's tides will be strong and I have high hopes this will encourage the bones to start moving and feeding better. Even still, get out there, work hard, have fun and make that drag scream!
