Bonefishing Key West |
|
| Bonefish
are found the world over in warm, sub-tropic
waters: know scientifically as,
"Alldonta Seeya," and nicknamed
the, "ghost of the flats," but
often referred to with explicative
infused monikers which should not be
repeated here. A full 62% of all
world record bonefish were landed in the
Florida Keys and with great reason. Our crystal
clear flats are teeming with shrimp,
crabs, clams: all the fodder
that make bonefish happy tailers. |

The
bonefish is one of my favorite quarry while
fishing with a fly rod, and I can think of
no better place than the Florida Keys. If
you can cast an 8 weight rod thirty-five
feet, you can experience a fish that will
rip off 150 yards of backing and turn
your legs to Jell-O.
The
delicate tailings of feeding bonefish make
such a slight disturbance on the surface
waters: leading most to dismiss them as
wisps of wind. An experienced guide does not
let this go unnoticed or un-inspected.
Speed
and power are the fighting qualities of the
bonefish that bring people to spend days,
months, and lifetimes wading endless flats. But it is
the serine solo wading, just you and the
flats that keep you sane and wanting more.
Who needs prosaic, when you can wade pristine
flats and let them melt the tensions of the
business world away.

The best Bonefishing
occurs from late May to late October, with
the best months being June, July, August, and
September. We see, stalk, and hook
bonefish in excess of nine pounds on a near
daily basis during the summers in Key West,
and can always find schools of five pounders
ready to give your heart the aerobic workout
it needs.
You too can enjoy this incredible fishing,
simply by calling Capt. Greg Rahe at (305)
