10/9/11 Islamorada Bonefish Action!

Capt. Rick Stanczyk fished with Lee and Rob again today on 10/9/11.  Due to weather and conditions we decided to give stake up bonefishing a shot.  The overcast rainy conditions usually turn the fish on especially on the ocean side.  We had mostly in tide and high water, not the greatest conditions, but we gave it a try.  We ended up catching 2 bonnet heads early on, and the rain started to pour with thunder.  So we ducked in back to the marina and waited it out for 20 minutes, went back out with just a drizzle of rain.  Lee ended up catching this nice 8-9 lb bonefish himself!  After that we moved around since the small picker fish were eating the shrimps off as fast as you could put them out.  The weather improved, though the tide died, and didn't start falling till we were about to go in.  Though catching one islamorada bonefish is worth it these days!  Capt. Lonny Shaw and Capt. Jim Willcox reported catching a couple each the day before as well.
