Tim enjoys his fishing and patiently gives me pointers. Then all of a sudden a bonefish takes my fly. I just caught my first bonefish! When I finally land the bonefish it is a small one, but hey it is my first bonefish. We get the camera out but I drop the bonefish... no pictures.
We decide to hike back to the beach and fish the grassy flats as we walk back to Sueno. We come across 3 bonefish and I circle around to cast to them. The wind is very strong today. After a few casts they move out of my casting range, which is not saying much since I can still see them. Then I notice other movement in the sea grass closer to me. I cast and strip the line. Then the water explodes with activity. My line takes off, I can see other fish take off, and one fish jumps through the air. As I reel the fish in Tim gets my camera. Not going to miss this one. After a pretty good fight I real the fish into my feet. Much to my surprise I caught my first snook.
A successful day for a novice.
