Indian Ocean Bonefish

Thanks for sharing.  That's amazing value at HK$6-7k per head.  That's certainly the cheapest bonefishing I've heard of in this part of the world (even compared with the cheaps flights in Oz to Xmas Island via Fiji).  Is that ex-Singapore or ex-Maldives?  Does that include food and accommodation?  

What's the fishing like?  Do you guys fishing different atolls everyday?  Is it mainly sightfishing or do you blindfish?  What depth are the Bones in  (tailing in ankle deep water or mooching about in the deeper stuff like in Western Australia)?  What size are they?  What kind of numbers do you get?

Well done on the triggerfish.  Do you catch many out that way?   I hear they're all over the Seychelles -- would love to get one one day.  

Do you see any big GTs?  

Sorry to bombard you on questions but I just can't get enough of Bonefish.  Just got back from Mexico chasing Permit and Bones on the side.

Happy Clam -- I have a brand new Orvis TLS Power Matrix 8 weight 4 piece for sale.  It's a nice rod, but I have way too many rods so I'm doing a spring clean.  I'll give it to you cheap if you want it.  PM me.  K

hey kman, that would be ex-maldives, accommodation and meals included.  yea, it's great value no frills fishing.  We normally fish different islands within a certain atoll.  if the fishing is particularly good on a certain island then we stay on.  Like i said, there are no skiffs or guides to sight for you.  everything is DIY.  last year was bumper year and the guys hit about 120+ bonefish.  whether or not maldives supports large populations of bones is anyones guess as we just don't have the means to cover vast areas in a fishing day.  

fishing for bones is a mix of sight and blind casting.  they tend to cruise very close to shore so you can spot them with some experience.  

there are some huge GTs out there but they are so fast that it's difficult to cast to them in time, i've seen 2kg fish beach themselves while being chased by big GT.  i find that they are normally quite spooky in the shallows too.  it might be easier bombarding the surf(blind) for GT instead.

there are plenty of triggers around.  and permit too, though i've never caught one.  the tell tale sign that a trigger is interested in your fly is when you see them tail up and dip their nose!  i've also seen some huge wrasse cruising around, so huge that when you take a second look at your rod you'll shake your head and say "nah".

look forward to your post on your mexico.  i did turneffe flats years ago and i know bones that part of the world are pretty prolific!

Mabel, timetable其实非常简单： breakfast, fishing, lunch, fishing, dinner, 饭后继续钓鱼（jigging, bottom fishing），饮酒煲烟吹吓水，疲倦就瞓。

早餐有toast and eggs, lunch & dinner几乎餐餐都有咖喱蔬菜。。。 饮品？啤酒汽水自己比钱，矿泉水免费。

船上有dvd机，自己可以带碟去睇。钓左成日鱼你仲会有精力打牌唱K咩，哈哈？ 有个识煮嘅跟埋去绝对系plus!

maldive 好热，听说明年船上会设冷气。。。不过，年年都听佢地咁讲啦，哈哈！
