Back from the B.V.I.
What a good trip we had to the BVI. Anegada , always a thrill! Accompanied by two good friends we gave Anegada a good go around. Between the three of us we landed 14 Bones and that with some heavy overcast on saturday, which makes it almost impossible to see the fish. We were able to capitalize when the clouds would give us a windwow and show us the schools of fish moving through the huge white sand flat. The Bones would look like a school of torpedoes moving across the flat, just a spectacular sight! By mid day on sunday one of our crew left by plane and just me and the mullet man were left to take the boat from Anegada to Culebra, quite a trek. This was made very easy while visiting the flats along the way. Mainly in Vigin Gorda and Tortola. The flat at Mosquito in the Gorda sound was quite impressive. When we got there on sunday afternoon we were received by a huge school of trigger fish with quite a few Permit in the mix. With plenty of shots made by both of us and no fish wanting to play we kept walking the highly flooded flat,which we thought would translate to only Permit. What we did not know was that the flat would get shallower. This was made clear by the huge school of Bones that we spotted. With two very syncronized casts placed the result was a double hook up with plenty of hoots and smiles. We managed the same feat about five minutes after we realeased our fish about 5 pounds a piece ,very nice! We saw the other school and again like two syncronized casters, we placed our casts two strips and we were both clearing lines again!! With those two we called it a day and spent the night on the beach chairs at the Bitter End yacht club. By 5:45AM on
monday we were aleady on the mosquito flat. I know this will sound redundant but as soon as we saw the first school we did it again and doubled up again! Perfect compliment to our OJ and crackers breakfast. After release and some pics we decided to head to Tortola and scope the flats. We visited two flats in Tortola one which had a few Permit but got no shots and the other one by the airport but saw nothing but the potential there. We gassed up at the west end and headed for Culebra. The weather cooprated nicely and about an hour and half later the 16 ft. Silver King flat boat ,also known as the "poon killa" made it to Culebra Puerto Rico. Another great fishing trip in the books and anxiously waiting for the next one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
