Bonefishing

Bonefishing are fishes that are from the type species of the Albulidea family, or bonefishes in order Albuliformes. They are amphidromous and live in inshore tropical waters, which move in to shallow tidal flats so that they are able to feed the incoming tide, they will retreat to deeper waters as the tide ebbs. Bonefish can be observed in large shoals of like sized individuals with the more mature and larger fish swimming in pair or smaller groups. This type of fish us considered to be amongst the world premier Fly game fish and are highly sought after by anglers. The bonefish can be caught primarily for sport, however they are not commonly eaten. The bonefish are also known as ‘phantom’ or ‘gray ghost’ are probably pound for pound the strongest and fastest moving animal of any salt-water fish. This type of fishing is a deep-water pursuit the is carried out in depths that range from 18 to 88 feet (5.5 to 27 meters). The fish can improve their tolerance to oxygen poor water by inhaling air into the lung like airbladder. Some of the most effective baits for these fish include live shrimp and grilled steak. Bonefish will feed on benthic worms, fry, crustaceans and mollusc. Ledges sporting currents drop offs along the edge and clean, healthy sea grass beds produce abundant small crabs and shrimp to nourish the bonefish.
