bonefishing
Pursuing silver ghosts
Bonefishing is the sport of angling for bonefish, a silvery game fish prized for its speed and wariness in shallow tropical waters.
The fish puts up a fierce fight relative to its size, making it a favorite among fly fishermen: We spent the morning bonefishing in the Florida Keys.
The activity is closely associated with Caribbean and Gulf Coast flats fishing.
