The professional bonefish backpack. Note the camera in front, protecting the precious Kalik from sand and salt. No prize for guessing what type malt-based beverage is stacked underneath the jacket.

The day started with thick clouds and then it got worse. Good luck spotting the bones under these conditions.

Who needs a smart backpack when you got cheap labour?
Necessity really is the mother of all innovation.
Can he train the woman to carry it too?

To exhausted heroes lugging home after a long day. Knut Johan (the tiny human on the right) caught his first bone, and I successfully sabotaged Solvor's attempts at the same, so we both returned cheerfully and with a sense of accomplishment.

Monday offered good weather, at least initially. Here a bonefish hauled in only to pose with a gnome, a long standing joke in the Ruud-Sandal clan.

Monday offered good weather, at least initially. Here a bonefish is hauled in by yours truly, although not without putting a good fight first. God, these are spectacular fish!

Knut Johan's first bonefish. The moment was of course thoroughly documented by all nearby parties. It was released with a splash.

Knut Johan's first bonefish. The moment was thoroughly captured by his better half and of course by that fat guy often seen klinging to a Kalik.

I'VE GOT ONE!!!! Knut Johan screamed with excitement and disbelief in his voice, as the backing peeled off his reel at an alarming rate, only drowned out by his own hysterical laughter. You don't easily forget your first bonefish run.

Yes, it holds big bonefish, and no it's not really that ugly. The flats of Abaco are pretty damn nice.

A day of exceptionally large bonefish on the flat, but the clouds made it very tough. So close, but yet so far away... There is however always some comfort in cold brew.

Dariusz enjoyed barracuda sushi on the flats, assuming we'd take his word over that of a hungry lemon shark.

And then, a fire started on one of the cays. Guess that's the risk we run when not ensuring the cigaretters are put out before flipping them into the ocean.

We started seeing fish as we reached deeper water, and Dariusz draws first blood of the day with a nice bonefish.

What?!? I never touched your chair, much less sat in it, Dariusz claimed.
