Got up early on Tues. and fished a nearby bay. Started in the flats... everything was perfect. Saw no bones!!!!! Saw a couple boxfish, caught a small cuda and got the "sh*t" scared out of me when a 6 foot nurse shark came swimming up behind me. It was very cool once I realized it was a nurse and not a bull! Went to the inlet and caught a 3 foot cuda on the spinner. --127-3- mucho fun.
Wed. got up at dawn to try the Tarpum Bay bones. Man they are thick in there at dawn. Caught 4 or 5 and lost a bunch more. Funny thing, they wouldn't touch a shrimp pattern.... only a small crab. ( can't buy shrimp at the market either) ;) .
This afternoon took the family to "Whiteland Beach". What a place!!! Super beach, super snorkling and we even caught my son his first bonefish on the fly! He also had a few (4) BIG cuda smack a big popper on the spinner but no hookups.
Bob, John, Josko, Chris, ..... etc. (you all know who you are) ALL the great info is paying off in Spades!
Thanks again! It's Kalik Time! :-%

Those Tarpum Bay bonefish are there every morning. A couple mornings I got there well before dawn, and just waited. As soon as it was light enough to see into the water, they'd appear.
All they would hit for me was a weighted yarn crab as well.

Great reports! Love reading them. :brow
