An interesting lagoon with a singe channel leading into large mangrove flats. Bonefish would always tag along with the outgoing tide, and Julern has just tricked one of them into eating a fake shrimp.

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. He was observ...

Captain Julern with his $8.99 Wallmart sunglasses guided the mighty wessel around the cays. Not exactly a day of tropical heatwaves, the Norwegian winter wear came in handy for the northly winds.

One of the many excellent flats around the cays. Should one hook a fish here, a strategically placed tree must be avoided when playing the bone.

Sunday greeted us with the anticipated but feared coldfront that was lurking about the general area. Fishing was difficult, and we only made a quick trip out when the paint dried at the hotel and there was nothing more to watch. The only thing we caught was fresh air (and lots of it.)

As a happy group from a mountain-infested country, this was our drink of choice and also the root cause of missed morning fishing on several occasions.

The unpredictable group dynamics, one grumpy, one giggly and one impatient newbie packed and ready for the flats for 3 hours by now.

A little strategy meeting and Kalik inventory reduction is a great way to start the day.

Dariusz appears to have spotted something. It seemed a bone dared ventured along the shoreline on low tide.

Considering that we had two newbies joining us this trip, rather than offering them an excellent shot a tailing fish, Dariusz, always the gentleman, cautioned them to step back, not to get in his way and try to learn something as Dariusz connected with the bone.

Amund spotted a flashy tail in the afternoon, unfortunately it belonged to a bonefish with advanced paranoia.

Amund won our camera bling competition by a large margin. This was about the closest the technological marvel came to the water without being double-packed into a waterproof bags. The inconsiderate Julern refuses to chase to his fish within zoom-range.

To pass the time while waiting for the tide to come in, Amund suggested we play a round of hide and seek. Julern didn't quite warm to the idea and made what can only be called a modest effort to hide.

Alfsen was not intimidated by his first bonefish trip and he landed a nice one on the very first day.

An unsharp reel on a messy out-of-focus vegetation with a poorly exposed flat in the backgroun makes for a perfectly fine picture.
