Bonefish
 The Bonefish
pound for pound is the hardest and toughest fighting fish in the
sea. The bonefish is also very wary and skittish because the bonefish
feeds in such shallow water. It takes stealth, proper casting,
and a good technique to be a successful bone fisherman. But with
a little practice even the novice can acquire enough skills to
be successful at bone fishing.
Bonefish
can be found throughout the year in Islamorada and the surrounding
flats of the Florida Keys. Bonefish are susceptible to cold fronts
that come our way during the winter. A good water temperature for
bonefish is 70-85 degrees. The best part of the year is March through
June and September through November. The "off" months are December
and January when the water is too cold and July and August when
the water is too warm. This is not to say that you can't find bonefish
during these months you certainly can, the bonefish are in a little
deeper water.
