Getting the big ones out of the way first?
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley

Re: Quest for first Bonefish
Tex I stopped at bait shop and loaded up with shrimp. Got to Matheson and slowly worked my way south saw bonefish and prepared my presentation. Shot a perfect shot then notice I can't get my bail to click back! Fish heading for lure I make noise to scare it and bring in the line by hand. AUGH! Had another rod/reel with and it was rigged with topwater and I kept paddling south to find smallish tarpon rolling. Tried to get it's attention with the topwater but not interested.
Got the reel over to Joe at Kendall Bait so he repaired it will pick up tomorrow. What luck huh? oh well, there is always next weekend.
