By accident, Knut grabbed Dariusz' usual resting spot on the beach, the sole tree big enough to support a fisherman. Dariusz gave Knut a glare of strong disapproval, Knut promptly told Dariusz go fuck himself, and Dariusz retorted claiming no interest whatsoever in that stup...

First-time bonefisher Alfsen brought with him perhaps the most important thing in fishing, unshakable good spirits and a well-developed sense of humor.

A beautiful flat with plenty of cruising cuda and bones at the right tide. Julern having spotted a pair.

Boating around might mean less effective fishing time, but it sure as hell beats walking in terms of comfort. Since he had once seen a tv show on Discovery Channel about Dutch channel boats, Julern was elected to captain our mighty wessel around the Abaco seas.

We were not the only ones looking for bonefish that day. The lemon sharks were not in hunting mode that morning, and a dozen of them were sun bathing in the shallow water. I got get as close as to touch them with my rod tip, which was pretty cool.

Further out from the sandbank we went around a few small cays, both looking very fishy.

We stopped by the lagoon as usual, not wanting to pass up a sure thing. Of course, there is no such thing as a sure thing in fishing, especially not on that particular Tuesday.

Julern playing a bone at the outlet of the channel, making sure the fish didn't go inwards spooking its fellow bonefish from exiting with the tide.

The clouds covered up the sun for most of the day, with only a handful of cracks through which a few teaser sun rays passed. We had to be extra focused and a bit lucky to spot fish that day, but no complaints on the tropical colors that tend to look sharper in the softer li...

Julern looking for cruising or tailing bones on mudflat in the afternoon. Myself? Oh, I snapped a few pictures and waded ashore for a cold Kalik and powernap. Life is good on the Bahamas.

An interesting lagoon with a singe channel leading into large mangrove flats. On many of the cays, the only footsteps we see are our own.
