We borrowed a nice stick so that we could pole the boat around on the flats, stealthly and effortlessly gliding up to non-suspecting bones. Except that the bloody boat weighed about a ton, good thing we had brought along a strong Dane...

Hey Lars, I just got an idea...

Most Bahamias sail their boats masterfully around the treacherous shallows. We went for the "fuck-it" approach and let the Kalik guide our mighty wessel. Works just as well.

Nothing quite beats being out in the wide open looking for bonefish. Not the cleanest camera lens around, though.

Monday was boating day, and it didn't take long until we hooked up with the grey ghosts. Treasure Cay in the background, you don't have to go far if you know where to go...

Lars tricked yet another bonefish to take one of his long-legged Gotcha flies.

Lars pondering the unpredictable change of group dynamics after a rough day in the boat. Any conflicts were soon forgotten after a bottle of rum magically appeared on the table.

The tide was fairly low due to the direction of the wind, and we set out for a good trek to where the big fishies live.

Monday Lars and I headed to the Purka flat to find some bonefish, but the high tide only revealed a few sharks in the morning hours.

It didn't take long before we found ourselves in the middle of large bonefish school. One fish is visible just nest to Lars' hat, and there were plenty more.

It didn't take long before Lars got his ducks in a row, and soon we had a double hookup! Here we are playing the fish utilizing the reverse crossover method. Life is good!

After losing a fly to a poorly tied knot and some bad hooking technique, I lost patience with my Danish apprentice and hooked a fish myself. It didn't take long before Lars got his ducks in a row, and soon we had a double hookup! Here's Lars setting the hook while my bone is...

Lars considered himself a natural comedian and incorporated many an unusual prop in his slapstick routine.

As usual, the colors were ugly, the fish nowhere to be found and freezing temperatures chilled us to the bone. In short, Bahamas sucks ass.

We split up after lunch, with the general idea being to teach Lars a humiliating lesson in international bonefishing. Didn't quite work as as planned, after only a few minutes I heard a distance war cry of "Denmark is best, fuck the rest!", and I saw Lars fighting yet another bone...

Finally, a pair of bonefish appear in front of me, the fly went out and the fun started. Sometimes, bonefishing can be easy.

Monday Lars and I headed to the Purka flat to find some bonefish. In the channel, the fish were spooky and highly suspicious of our offerings. Here a single bone visible in the top left corner.
