Well its official it sucks to be home. Last Friday I had a crack at Bonefishing in Cozumel was amazing always wanted to catch one. It was actually our first year weeding anniversary on the day so it took some serious sucking up to get but was well worth it.
Started off by getting a taxi from the cruise boat to the office of
http://aquariusflatsfishing.com met the owner Carlos who took us to the marina. Then got a half hour trip up the coast of Cozumel to the lagoon. The lagoon was ankle to knee deep with crystal clear warm water there we spent the rest of the day following the guide looking for schools of fish.
First couple schools I spooked then finally hooked one and it was awesome the first couple runs were strait into the backing which was fine it was when they run back to you that caused the problems couldn’t wind, strip or run backwards fast enough to keep in contact, lost one due to this and by pure luck managed to land two others.
The last fish I landed was from a school of about a 100 which we cast to for over an hour they just swan in area about 100ft wide, if I spooked them they would shoot off to the other side and come back in a minute or so. we changing flies 8 times before finally hooking one on a tiny weightless shrimp fly.
End of the day ended up landing two, lost one and spooked about 10 different schools. Unfortunately due to the time that the cruise boat arrived it meant we had to fish during the middle of the day. The fish were not really feeding, early in the morning and late in the day is apparently when they feed and you see them tailing, most of the fish we cast to were just cruising about but still one of the best days fishing I have had and would highly recommend it.
On another note had a cast at Kintore last night not much rising there was a hatch of tiny black flies got a few fish up at 9:30 but only lasted 15mins.
Heres a few photos
