This is my dream for my little girl.
It’s my dream… but I’d do a better job at handling the fish. 😉

Oh Florida… I’m going to try
The stars have to align (like the stars that will fund our Series B… if you know anyone interested in investing in a cool Enterprise software product, you let me know, k?), but I’d really like to fish Florida around December/January. Â We’ll see if I can pull it off. Â I wouldn’t put a bet on it, really. Â When you have a big mountain to climb, you don’t fix your eyes on the peak, you look right down at your feet. Â A Florida trip is a little bit like looking at the peak right now, but it is also good to have a dream.
The dream looks something like this…
That first shot… the glass flat water and the fish coming on… man… nearly stroked out there.

Motivefishing goes to Mexico – movie results
Best Humor and Film of the Year from the Drake film contest, not a bad set of awards. Here it is.

Florida doesn’t look so bad…
Totally ripped this picture off from the Saltwater Experience.
Florida… maybe I’ll head to FL for a little fly-meets-fish action if and when I can scrape enough loose change together. Â That doesn’t sound like the worst plan of action. The above is from the folks at Saltwater Experience.
Who has been and how was your experience?

Longboat Key Bonefish
Whatever the reason may be that a bonefish is swimming off our beaches, it is a once-in-a-lifetime catch.

A bonefish in Florida? What’s so odd about that? Well, this bonefish was on the wrong side of the state. So… this fish may actually be once-in-a-lifetime. Check out the link to see the picture.
Well... that's weird.

GBI… deal
I subscribe to the Cheap Caribbean newsletter/emails mostly because I like to be reminded of the places I won’t be going.
Still, this stood out… 4 nights in GBI, air included, for $339. That may be the best deal for bonefish out there. The deal may not even be on by the time this runs, but it is fun to think about.
Of course… you get there, you need a car, at the very least. A guide is also a really good idea, at least for a day. That tends to push the cost up dramatically (guides there run $450 for a full day). The fantasy of the idea is way, way cheaper, of course.

Andros South… minus sound
OK, I don’t seem to have any sound on this, but, it is still awesome.
Andros South. I miss this place very, very badly.

I could never be mad at you, Google Alerts
If it weren’t for the good folks over at Google, I likely would never have found this story from the Malaysia Star. The location is the Maldives and, as it turns out, there are indeed bonefish there.
Now… I may disagree with a few things… like:
Known to exist in only a few places in the world, the hunt for this species is simply exclusive.
(They’ve been caught from Long Beach to Hawaii to most of the South Pacific, South Africa, the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf and there are rumored to be a few in the Caribbean, to name a few places they might be found. However, there remain none in Kansas.).
I agree with others…
But fishing for bones is not so easy.
A different perspective from a different part of the world.

The pearl of Aitutaki – Way to go Butch
If Aitutaki were an oyster, the budding bonefishing industry would surely be its pearl.
via The pearl of Aitutaki | PostIndependent.com.
Well, look at that, Butch Leone! A nice little story about Aitutaki that features Butch Leone, who has started a tagging program there in his little piece of the Cook Islands.
Fantastic.
