(More on that to come.) What makes bonefishing especially interesting and alluring is that it is all about spotting fish, and I believe that sight fishing is top of the game.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s where fishing meets hunting in my mind. If you see your quarry before you make the cast, and then put the fly in the money zone, that&#8217;s as good as it gets, regardless of how big the fish you catch really is. (At least that&#8217;s my opinion&#8211;I&#8217;ll trade 10 fish caught &#8220;blind&#8221; for one laid-up target in skinny water.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;I picked up a really great tip from Long Island guide Markk Cartwright. He suggests that to train your eyes for spotting fish, whenever you or the people you&#8217;re fishing with lands a fish and releases it, you should keep your eyes on that fish until it swims completely out of sight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fisherman and travel blogger Kirk Deeter picked up a really great tip from Long Island guide Markk Cartwright on how to spot fish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10223285771444175_51037792744":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[39,59,33,73],"class_list":["post-19196","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-travel","tag-fishing","tag-islands","tag-tourism","tag-travel-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19196"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19196\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
