What is Bonefishing?
The thrill of Bonefishing
Bonefishing is a popular and challenging form of fly fishing that targets bonefish, known for their speed, strength, and elusiveness. These fish are often referred to as "grey ghosts" of the flats due to their silvery color and ability to blend into their surroundings. Anglers from around the world travel to tropical and subtropical waters, such as those around Bonaire, to experience the excitement of catching these prized fish.
Characteristics of Bonefish

- Elusive nature: Bonefish are highly alert and can be easily spooked, making them a challenging target that requires skill and patience to catch.
- Habitat: Bonefish are typically found in shallow, warm waters of tropical and subtropical regions. They inhabit sandy flats, mangroves, and seagrass beds where they feed on crustaceans, mollusks, and small fish.
