Heading to Coral Gables for a Cuban Xmas this year, going to be there for a few days. Any advice?

You suck.

Thats common knowledge, not advice Cole.

Advice: stop sucking so hard and take us with you.

I second the motion that Derik take us with him. Any oppose?

I can sleep in the corner and eat table scraps.

...and the motion carries.

The ayes have it, motion carries. Derik, you are hereby appointed to build a teleportation machine so we can all go have a TFF Bonefishing Trip.


Which, I'd have to say, would be pretty freakin' epic. The trip, not just teleporting.

I never said you couldnt come, I just cant buy your ticket. I guess I should just tie up the regular salt package of decivers, clousers, poppers and such?

Good start, what's our main target on this here jaunt to the salt?

"...longer than you think, Dad. Longer than you think!"

Name that teleportation short story.

guides are in the $500-600/day + handsome tips down there. if you are willing to spend it, i can hook you up. i have extensive and excellent contacts down there. and, no, i won't get a cut of the action.

right now, the big action is spanish mackerel on that side. snook season is open, too. tie size 1/0 and 2/0 clousers in chartreuse and white on the back 1/2 of the hook shank of a long shank saltwater hook, leaving about 1" of exposed shank and epoxy coat your thread heads. macks have teeth. this style of tying is called "keys style," and it is by far the preferred method over using wire bite tippets on macks.

Whatever you do, have fun and take some photos!!

nice ive been dying to go, i have herd a lot of good stuff from this guy cordell http://www.bonefishwhisperer.com/

hes cheaper than most, and he has a lot of pics of big bones...

and he ties a fly call the electric dread which is becoming very popular down that way..

He's a kayak/canoe fishing and wade fishing guide. That's why he's less expensive. He is very good. And he's a nice guy. Got sort of a Bohemian thing going on, but he's very knowledgeable and skilled on Biscayne Bay and a good fella.

Thats my kind of fishing.

Cordell, rocks Derik. Here are some shots of his from another board he posts on. He is filming for his own tv show, I don't know if he is still guiding clients right now.

I sent him an email will try to call today.

Got ahold of Cordell he is going to try and fit me in for a day. So it looks like I have got bones and peacocks in my future.

Sweet man, good luck!

Thanks for the help guys, I will post a nice report on this one.

so where's the report?
did you make it?
where you able to fish with cordell?

i just booked a 5 day trip with him in may, looking forward to it
