Here’s what the good Dr. had to say:

I have received reports of some dead bonefish during the week after the cold from the Marls of Abaco and the east end of Grand Bahama Island.
Info from 5 or 6 guides, each reporting approx a dozen dead bones. My guess is that the bonefish on extensive flats got trapped in the usual holes they hide out in for normal cold fronts, and since the distance from those spots to deeper water (edges of the flats) was so far away, they couldn’t escape. Overall, though, it doesn’t sound too bad over there. I’ll let you know if I hear more.

Hey Dexter, Aaron wouldn’t be able to reply unless I forward him your question, which I’ll do. I’ll let you know what he says, if he replies.

Aaron,

Were there any reported bonefish cold water kills in the Bahamas?
