DIY Bonefish Fly Fishing: Exploring the Waters of South Florida 

Thank you 🙌

Tell me about it but this will pass and soon we’ll have that glorious climate we pay such high taxes for 😎

Thank you and totally agree, plus if you tied your own fly, fuhgeddaboudit 🤙

Socal as in Southern California? That's so cool dude, I've seen pictures of bonefish in the Sea of Cortez and the San Diego area, but I thought they were flukes and not something you could consistently target. Awesome!

san diego back bay flats, can see them tailing but they are very spooky but they are use to boats passing them under 10 to 15 to 20 foot but they will still spook away and mostly blind cast and very tricky to sight cast them thats why i use a inflatable boat with a trolling motor to get them.. and we have some good size halibuts up to over 40+ inchs..fun on the fly but if you hook up on a monster on 6wt/7wt you'll be in trouble fighting it but they dont run away they just go back the bottom and you mostly need a bigger set up rod with back bone to yank them off the bottom @@SergioDiazFishing

@@thatonebeone that sounds awesome, who knew! I was in San Diego for a week long conference and I spoke to a fishing guide I wanted to book, he never mentioned bonefish. Next time you visit NY let me know and we'll go fishing 🤙

@@SergioDiazFishing was this key biscayne?

@@brandonlamb4337 yes, Key Biscayne

Hey Tom, it depends on the fly, a small shrimp pattern I'll do very short, erratic strips and rod tip down to keep it from getting to high from the bottom. A crab fly which is heaver I'll make slow longer strips to imitate a crab moving along the bottom.

For bonefish you don't, but if you want to increase your odds, booking a professional guide is the way to go!

Thanks, is Mid to late Jul a good time to visit this place for bonefish? @@SergioDiazFishing

@@Kelberi I think the flats I’ll be way too hot in the summer, bones will move to deeper cooler water. I like it October through December 🤙

@@SergioDiazFishing thanks for the info. Appreciate.

Looks like the Bill Baggs Cape Florida state park

Thank you !@@toddr2265

I fished both, but feel like ocean side was more productive at least for me and I prefer incoming tide, have your coffee well before so that you are ready to start looking for fish at the bottom. 😎

@@SergioDiazFishing thank you man. Can’t wait to try this, bones are on my bucket list. If you ever want to get on some big beach snook shoot me a message

@@noahschwartz7236 🙌🙌🙌

@@SergioDiazFishingone more question if you don’t mind.. did you do better on the north or south end of the island?

@@noahschwartz7236 I only fished 3 mornings, so I'm no expert but south was productive. Send me an IG message @sergiodiazfishing

That's a good question. My expenses included airfare, hotel, transportation, and food. The total cost depends on the deals you can get for flights and hotels. I'd estimate I spent around $1,200, including food. But I might not have accounted for the cost of beers 😆

That's really not too bad. You could also look into air bnb.

@@markkowaleski4633 Yeah, seems I may have been able to save money with air bnb. Next time!

Ha! Luck absolutely plays a role in fishing, without a doubt, always!

Yes sir 😎
