2 years ago I visited Eleuthera (Bahamas) with a friend to do some bone-fishing.
I decided to go to the Bahamas once more this year, on my own this time...

This is where I will stay for almost 2 weeks in April.
Some patterns I have tied:
(most bonefish flies, but the occasional tarpon or barracuda is welcome as well....)
Cheers, Hans.

They look great, Hans! I love those Crazy Charlies for skipping over the sand like a shrimp. I haven't tried poppers yet for SWFF but I'd love to see what sort of take they induce in our cold water species.

Not sure what to expect there.
Tan coloured flies seem to be the way to go there for the bones.
I hired a guide for 3 days, costs a small fortune, but I guess he will take me to the fish...
Poppers have proven to be good for all predators, so who knows...
Will keep you posted on the progress and post a report in due time.

I've never tried them in the sea but I use poppers a lot for pike and they produce the most ridiculous takes imaginable! Apparently they work a treat for bass too, I daresay fished subsurface on a fast sinker the vibrations/ water they dispplace would make them deadly for pollack, coalies etc too.
