If you’re just walking flats it’s seems more trickier since you usually have a bonefish fly on. Have to change rods and they usually fly by. I would say only 2 people at the lodge caught one over 10 lbs that week. If you’re trolling, it gets easier. But the group wasn’t interested in that this trip. But I remember talking to a group at another lodge that did that and caught bigger ones. If you’re going to Xmas island for GT I would just dedicate fishing for them. But you’ll also be missing out on a lot of other things.
Nice job out there!
Thanks!
This makes me wanna come here!
Really special place. I hope to make it back there another year but should be on everybody’s radar!
I fished Xmas 30 years ago...not much has changed...the flyfishing gear looks a lot mo betta.....
is it normal to catch nothing good or big on a trip like this?
