Nice fish, even better troll.

So When Did The Tar Sands Become The Oil Sands? At around $85/barrel, give or take.

Good stuff ! Thanks for sharing. Ayr.

Agreed the strength and speed of the bones put them in a class of their own. Seems reasonable to get the tarpon bug, they look like great sport, good luck in Belize! Golden Dorado have caught my attention lately..........still love the bones though, can't wait for next time!! Ayr.

Thanks for the comments guys/gals. Regarding the weather; the first five or six days were beautiful 27-29C, then the cold front that hit the southern US hit us also, as Andros is just 50 miles south off the Florida coast. The temps dropped to between 16-20C, and with the wind in the morning, on the water, it was pretty chilly for a few days. The fishing seemed the best a couple days after the cold front, which is why I have the heavy stuff on in the majority of the pics. Towards the last couple of days of our stay, it did warm up a few degrees. Even on the "cold" days, comparing it with icefishing in Alberta was comforting. Ayr.

That's a gift worth being excited about! Happy for ya' Ayr.

Another great vid Jay, I enjoyed it! Ayr.

Happy New Year! Ayr.

Nice fish = big smile. There were several other species available, even though we targeted the bones we still connected with Needlefish, Barracuda, Snapper, and small Jacks. Sharks are a regular sighting and can be targeted if you like. Our first experience with the Andros bones was a blast. Knock on wood, it won't be the last!

Looking for some relief from the extreme cold in Alberta, my wife and I left on Christmas day on a two week siesta, in search of better weather and, some bonefish on the fly!! What more can I say; we found some! We were guided by two very good local guides in flats boats, but wading opportunities are also available. Hope you enjoy the pics. The bones are very strong for their size and it was common for them to take all of your fly-line and significant backing, seconds after being hooked. Looooong reel screaming runs became music to my ears on the Bahamian flats. The bigger bones that we caught (5-7 lbs), would take all of your fly line and most of your backing, sometimes 2-3 times per fish. There are larger bones here (10+ lbs), but we'll have to get those on the next trip...... It was really fun to see my wife and my father both land their first bones too!

No doubt, by an Albertan bird. v v v v v v v v v v Great pic by the way. I love fish pics.

Nice work guys, enjoyed that one! Thanks for sharing, Ayr.

That's interesting, thanks for sharing. Ayr.

NIce work guys, VERY nice! Ayr.

Starting in on some FB pheasant-tails. Cheers, Ayr.

Bonefish Bunnies; A little leech collection for a local perch lake I hope to spend more time at this coming season;

Instead of ice-fishing this season, trying to tie a few flies. Much more comfy, so far. Gearing up for a little Andros fishing soon for Bones, maybe some Cudas, Sharks, Tarpon and whatever else; Sal****er clousahs; Mini-puffs; "Wingless" Mini-puffs; Various Gotchas;

Hi Guys/Gals Organizing the pics from the camera and came accross a few pics to share from this last fall; Cheers, Ayr.

That was a blast at Wab, SNAP! Good thing we "talked" you into it . Here is a pic of one of the many that you landed; This weekend is going to be a gooder!! Ayr.

Are there tickets available for this? We're in for twelve !! Oh man hopefully we didn't miss it, sounds like a real blast

Steve, It was good to run into you and the buds in Jasper. Thanks for sharing the pics, you've got some good ones there! Good luck to you, if you get out that way again, I will look forward to the next time we cross paths. Oh, and nice Medicine Brookie, that's a beauty! Ayr.

I picked up a pair a couple of weeks ago.....only have two days on them, but initial feedback is positive Ayr.

That's a killer brown, thanks for sharing!! Once you get that river dialed in I may have to join you on a float ; ), Again, nice work! Ayr.

Spotted a SNAPFisher streamside; Hope you all got out a time or two also!! I wonder how August will go....... Ayr.
