I came, I saw ….and left the bonefish alive and well.
One day on the flats of Cozumel with a great guide, Alex, gave me a new appreciation for good equipment and why it costs what it does. We didn{t bring ours and relied on the guide to provide it, which he did – and it was Orvis ….Streamline – which I would buy for my grandson so I wouldn´t be too upset if he ran over it with his bike. But, into the wind, for long casts, well, it was challenging. None the less, bonefish were sighted, cast to and hooked, but none were boated.
We cast to barracuda and had them chase the offering all the way to the boat. It was a great day on the water, even sighting a alligator after we got back in the boat from a wade..
It was the end to a perfect five days which included watching Terry Jr. run an Ironman. How he managed to get up the next day to go bonefishing, gave further meaning to being an Ironman.
It was all good.
