Tag Ends – 12-21-09
- Large non-bonefish brown trout caught on my home water by a guy I like.
- Flatswalker is back up after being down for a couple days. I like this.
- For those of you worried about what to get me for Christmas, I wear an XL shirt. Cash also is just my size.
- The clock is ticking down toward my 11:30 PM flight on Jan. 13 to Grand Bahama.
- Visors suck. I don’t want to see any more pictures of big, huge bonefish and guys with enough hair to make that kind of head-wear practical.
- www.gofishn.com could be a cool place for the fly fishing community. Join. I did.

Dreada Dan Dread
Check out some goodness from Flatswalker, one of my favorite salty blogs.
Example…
Dreada dan Dread, ['dreda dan 'dred] (slang) adj: badass, amazingly awesome, simply very cool shiznit.
Caribbean slang term. Logic goes something like this: rastas (dudes with dreadlocks) are pretty cool right, they don’t just wear dreads but are pretty “dread” themselves. Not dread as in scary or fear inspiring, but more like someone from Boston may use the term “wicked”, as in that’s a wicked sweet boat/ride/rod/reels/fish/etc. Or, “dat is a dread fly, man; dem bones naw’ a pass dat!”

Bonefish are strong
One of my favorite blogs on the saltwater side of things is Flatswalker.com and the guy who writes that blog also happens to be a guide in the Cayman Islands. Fish Bones is the guide service on their web site I found a good link on a topic I was just thinking about… namely hooks and knots.
I’ve straightened a few trout flies on fish. I’ve broken a few as well. I haven’t done enough saltwater fishing to run into this sort of scenario, so I have to rely on the knowledge of the folks that have. Davin/Windknot seems just that sort.

Bent Hooks by Fish Bones
Some good stuff to think about.
