It didn't take long before we found some fish, and Lars served his Gotcha. A disorganized school of fish is barely visible (use your imagination) in the center of the shot.

Saturday hit us with some monsterous tropical rain showers, adding to the already unreasonable water level from spring tide.

Saturday hit us with some monsterous tropical rain showers, but it soon cleared and allowed us to continue our relentless quest for the perfect photograph of a mangrove bush.

Dueling Cameras!
Dariusz' precious camera is not to be used in the vincinity of salt water, so he has developed a highly irritating habit of shooting lots of pictures after all the action has passed. This time I fired back in kind, and a quizical Lars watched the drama unfol...

Dueling Cameras!
A quizical Lars watched the photo drama unfold before he joined in on the action, revealing a rather unimpressive little toy camera, a far cry from the mighty bulk and shining equipment carried around by the stout Norwegians.

Is that your idea of a camera, sir?

Saturday hit us with some monsterous tropical rain showers, and Lars sought shelter in an abandomed car close to the flat. He had now learned that packing beer is crucial to a pleasant day on the flats. The next day, we revealed the mystery of refrigeration, how to make this...

And so the peaceful moments of solitary fishing came to an end, Dariusz arrived and we fueled up with greasy burgers and cold beer in the relative civilization by the airport.

After a few hours of bonefishing, we headed home. According to Nordic protocol, the fishless Dane must follw the Norwegians heroes at the distance no less than 15 yards, just as on the flat. We were good hosts. Lars was a good apprentice, but a lousy tipper.

Dariusz and Lars in the middle of an important beer meeting. Well, Lars was new to bonefishing and hadn't brought any beer, but we took him under our wings and let him watch.

Plenty of fish, but far from easy to hook this afternoon. Dariusz and Lars working their way to a beer meeting.

I tipped Lars about a secret spot on the flat, a mangrove bay where we'd never ever seen a bonefish.. haha, good luck, sucker!

Soon the trio hit the flat, which was packed with fish, although not necessarily easy to catch. As a welcome greeting to our Danish friend Lars, I stole a bonefish going straight at him.

I finally made it out to the chair island so I could start photographing branches and leaves, the real reason for going to Bahamas one might suspect after reviewing the photos.

The tide was reasonable on Thursday, and the channel was full of bonefish having a last snack on the ebbing tide.

The tide was reasonable on Thursday, and the channel was full of bonefish having a last snack on the ebbing tide. The second bonefish outsmarted that day, basking in the sun woving never again to eat a crazy charlie.

The water level was at a reasonable level the next day, thanks to the wind and fisherman's ability to sleep until low tide.

The low tide emptied the flat of bonefish, I offered a helping hand.
