Bonefish tailed on the ebbing tide, which made fishing all the more easier.

Bonefish tailed on the ebbing tide, which made fishing all the more easier. Only about a third of my attempts resulted in a hook-up, but that handsomely beats the 15% rate with the paranoid morning feeders.

The hooks got bent in every possible direction that afternoon. I fought the fish very hard to avoid interference from the sharks.

Not all releases of bonefish went without hickups. The hook was burried deep, but luckily there were no sharks in the immediate proximity. Hope he made it.

While playing the second fish of the afternoon, new schools of fish came within casting distance.

As the tide ebbed out and the sharks left the shallow flat, the bonefish became increasingly more cooperative.

Finally a hookup with the paranoid fish. Said both the fisherman and the shark who help himself to a snack, evidenced by the sea spray a good 50 meters out.

Thick clouds and high tide made the fishing very difficult. How the heck can one expect to spot any bonefish under these conditions?

The smaller sharks came all the way in with the high tide.

A couple of long-beeked sparrows waited for the ebbding tide. Truth be told, there was perhaps a few more of them than a just a couple.

An unusually large hummingbird sat in the mangroves and surveiled the tide.

The fishing gods were pleased with my stamina and sent a lone bonefish my way.

The high tide rolled in through the normally dry mangroves, and the fish followed. Not an easy day with flyrod in hand.

Monday came with spring tide in the morning. The wind did its part as well, and soon the mangroves were flooded. Even a confused turtle showed up.

The turtle responded in kind to my one-fingered salute.

Monday came with spring tide in the morning, and fishing was very difficult. I make sure to let my feeling be known.

A long-necked stork danced like a gay chicken. Damn attention whore!

The bonefish were very spooky this day, the recipe for close encounters was to spot the fish far away and then stand completely still. Easier said than done. As the flat was swarmning with sharks, I opted for the camera over the rod for this one.

Lots of weird stuff to be found in the Caribbean waters.

A cold Kalik is the perfect accessory when wading around in the Caribbean. Beer is good. Sometimes, beer is very good.

The clouds showed off their creative side that afternoon. After relatively clear skies, the clouds reentered the stage disguised as a duck.
