If you haven’t checked out the Flatswalker blog, you should. Not only is it a good read with posts that are on the other side of the ordinary, but they are the work of Davin Ebanks, fishing guide out of Grand Caymen. Here is a Youtube gem of his from a pilgrimage to Andros.

Want to fish Bimini?
Well… you might want to do so quickly before every last mangrove in Bimini is taken out, filled in and turned into golf courses and resorts… because the world doesn’t have enough golf courses.
I found this little video of Bonefish Ebbie talking about the Bimini Bay development that is dredging up bonefish habitat to make way for pure and bottled greed.
Read more about the badness that is this Bimini Development.
Bonefish Ebbie can be found here.

Distance Learning from Deneki
Deneki Outdoors has long been one of my favorite websites for my bonefish fix… he simply puts up a lot of interesting content.
The most recent post is 4 Things to Learn About Bonefish… all from one simple photo.
I’m not going to steal his thunder… go ahead and visit the site and check it out.
Thinking about what I might be able to illustrate in one photo…
4 Things from this photo:
- The Upper Sacramento does get warm enough to wet wade.
- A wading staff isn’t just to keep you from filling your waders.
- I am whiter than is reasonable… or appealing… or healthy.
- When you are really hung over, you can sleep anywhere.
Ah… my 20’s….

Itu’s Bones
You may have heard of the new film project from the folks at On the Fly Productions called Itu’s Bones.
You can read the story of the genesis of this film project at their website. It is worth reading.
There’s a twitter feed to follow if you are into that sort of thing… like, right here.
The players supporting this project are some of the key players; Patagonia, Sage, Costa Del Mar and Rio.
Itu lives on the island of Aitukaki in the Cook Islands. There is an ex-pat American (Butch Leon) who has been pioneering bonefishing out there at Aitutaki Blue Lagoon Fly Fishing.

This should be a great story to see unfold and a wonderful movie. Looking forward to it.

El Pescador, Buccaneers and Bones
More news on Buccaneers and Bones from the filming down in Belize and El Pescador.
…this past week Ambergris Caye was host to some heavy weights in the entertainment industry as they filmed “Buccaneers and Bones”. El Pescador (Lodge) was chosen from three locations in Belize to host Orion Multimedia, Michael Keaton actor/director, Tom Brokaw news anchor/author, Yvon Chouninard founder Patagonia, Bill Klyn director Bonefish and Tarpon Trust, Zach Gilford actor, Thomas McGuane acclaimed author, Lori-Ann Murphy director of fishing at El Pescador, and Aaron Adams, scientist, Bonefish and Tarpon Trust. According to Ali Flota of El Pescador, this was the “Coup de grace of fly fishing”, and truly an honor.

The good news is that if the guy casting in this video can catch a bonefish, you can too.

Shark + Bonefish = 1/2 Bonefish
It’s something I have yet to see, but, that’s because I haven’t done this enough yet (by the way, I will never do this enough, there is no “enough”).
Sharks, Cuda’s, they dig bonefish the same way I dig bacon or the Pulled Pork Sandwich at Dunsmuir Brewery Works.

Wild about Bonefish Glass
The Wild About Glass website has the art of David Oppenheimer. Included in his portfolio are all sorts of inshore species… tarpon, snook, trout and, of course, bonefish. The bonefish he has on offer is 32″. You need to call or email David about pricing.
Nice looking fish.
I like this stuff. My grandfather used to do stained glass… flowers, birds… good looking pieces of art that have hung in the windows of the various parts of our family for years. Wouldn’t mind a bonefish in the window.

Derek Rust Beach Bonefish
Friend and new Florida resident Derek Rust caught a few bones from the beach yesterday along the East Coast of Florida.
Derek's beach bonefish
That wasn’t his only fish of the morning… so Derek is doing his part to dispel the notion of the impossible Florida bonefish.
