Cocos Bones on Spin Tackle
Re-visited the Cocos Keeling Islands for a second round of bonefish on spin tackle.
Another great trip but it was one that succeeded mainly because of stubborn persistance. The weather did us absolutely no favours with persisent 15-20 knot winds, cloud and at times rain. Tough conditions to actually spot such a well camouflaged flats predator, where you more often than not are looking for their shadow. As such, a fair bit of blind casting also took place.
The earlier visit this year was to test out my prototype 'shrimp' fligs, this second trip the goal was more fish on the shrimp fligs and product test a new 'crab' flig.
I'll let the pics do the talking, if you're interested in chasing your own bonefish on spin tackle, send me a PM.
