I always went with floating lines because I can get them off of the water and recast at a moving school much faster than I can get a heavy fast sinker out of the water .....
That's what keeps me from blind casting. Churbuck's Law of Bonito dictates that as soon as you cast blindly out of boredom a big school of bonito will rip up the water exactly 180 degrees in the opposite direction. I like to stand in bonefish mode, with the fly in my left hand and about 20-30 feet of line hanging off of the tip-top then snap off a quickie (one false cast with a lot of line lengthening going on in the backcast).
What do you think about chumming. I saw an Andy Mills show where he chummed up "bonito" off of Jupiter Inlet. It worked very well. I was thinking of hanging a chum bag off the stern and maybe dangling a jug of pogie oil on a slow drip. Anchor and wait .....
Thanks for the advice
Salty Dog: a Deadly Dick is a narrow metal lure with mirror-lure coating. Sort of the Swedish Pimple (who thinks up these names?) idea.
