On and nobody’s walked this flat for a while so I’m just going to kind of walk down and see if I can find a bone fish thanks for joining me all right let’s do this fish on look at that I didn’t get skunked not sure what that is but sure is

Pretty holy what is that that’s like a really large shark holy that is a giant shark going after something holy crap well that’ll get me into the shore quick oh my God that thing was probably 10 to 12 ft long I mean the dorsal on it was 2 ft tall that

Was a huge shark he was going after a ray that is that was nuts yeah got to watch out for that maybe I won’t go so deep wow there was somebody kind enough to let me pass through their property because there is no freaking way I was going to wave

Justest deep right where that shark went by to get back to the shallows so very nice and that to let me walk through the property but that was insane insane wow I’ve seen some shark at Christmas Island but never a tiger shark that big I assume that that’s what it was I mean

That from its dorsal to its back fin oh my god there was 6 seven feet in distance between those two points crazy kill me dude that was exciting so pretty cool I mean there was some definitely action didn’t get skunk caugh a little fish and

Almost got eaten by a giant shark well I didn’t almost get eaten but it was too close for comfort for sure so this was more about a scouting trip anyway and this flat looks freaking awesome so I’ll be back here Sunday morning bright and early before everyone else before the

Jet skiers kayakers uh sunseekers and that type thing all right so with a click of the finger we’ll be back in hopefully a very calm Sunday morning good morning I’m back out here this time a little bit early sun’s coming up behind me and I’m walking the flats and

Pretty much every single dark spot looks like a fish to me right now but uh just met some other guy walking his dog but no one else on the beach so it’s good news hopefully uh hopefully I’ll find a fish this morning but I’ve got a couple

Hours before I played a little golf this afternoon no sharks though oh by the way that was a hammerhead yesterday and it was going after a stingray absolutely nuts I’ve never seen anything like that before that Hammerhead was at least 12 ft I mean there was 6t of separation

Between his twoot dorsal and his tail it was just crazy to have captured that on camera nuts and it was like as soon as I uh so I I asked permission on one of the homes to walk the road back to the beach cuz there was no freaking way I was

Going back the same way I came so uh but once I got back down on the beach I mean there was probably 50 people that I shared that video with he said everyone wanted to make sure I was okay all right let’s go fishing got something

Nice jeez trying to get on the reel so much lineing out he going to take off here in a minute again I need it on the reel on the Reel probably a small bone oh it’s been too long since I’ve touched the bone sound that didn’t sound the way I wanted it

To H one of the hardest fighting saltwater fish there is pound for pound okay so pretty okay beautiful fish almost CAU me nice so good to get the skunk off and it’s the first fish on my new cheeky reel pretty cool get something bigger to really test out the drag system but drag

System is pretty pretty great on this reel so far so good but yeah nice to get the skunk off this early and the sun’s just coming up Love Bone Fish I’m uh fishing a nine weight this is my xi2 this Rod has been so many places and so

Can be your friend right I I scoured this island to find what I thought looked to be some pretty good flats and this was my second choice and turns out to be a great flat some of the Bone Fish here are far bigger on this flat than

They were on the flat that I started out with a couple days ago so excited about the opportunity to catch a Bone Fish that’s you know four five lbs which is pretty cool so it’s kind of a treacherous walk through the uh through this old Coral but my hope is that’ll

  1. Thanks Dan for torturing us as we sit here in the freezing cold springtime just dreaming of a nice warm summer day of fishing while you go bone fishing! That definitely looks miserable in that warm water and sand. 🤣

  2. Hi Dan. Do you have any useful sources for researching and planning when and where to go fly fishing in WA? I'm especially hoping to go to more remote locations with less people. Eventually I'll work my way to Oregon, Idaho and Montana. Thanks.

  3. “Its bean to long since i have touched bone”

    Your gonna see this coming
    Thats what she said😂😂
    Nice fishing man i can only imagine the power on those
    Zero saltwater expirience here so😂😊
    Keep safe around those sharks 😅😅

  4. Great one. I’ve caught so many in Mexico. Love bones but when I’m in the tropics. I only target permit now. My God they are powerful, a little tip. When you’re catching large bones or permit. You always need a little drag on your reel. Even 10 percent. Drag totally back off is a very good chance to backlash your line and then bang. Tippet broken and broken heart. A little fun FACT. Love your sun glasses. Cheers

  5. FFD, hope you enjoyed T&C. A friend of mine (non-fisherperson) just vacationed there! Rivers are blown out back home but the sun is out. ☮ from Idaho

  6. Bonefish are cool and so solidly built. I like to think I can stay pretty calm during wildlife encounters and have had a couple run-ins with bears but being in the water a shark that BIG would have had me walking on water. There was a FlyFish Dan worth of distance between the dorsal and tail.
