And in the summer the morning or late afternoon are best because the water gets too hot during the day. Bonefish don't like extreme temperatures. My favorite is in the summer, when it has been hot and calm for many days. If we then get a rainy overcast day, the bonefish will show up in good numbers and be very hungry. There are three basic ways to fish for bonefish.
Some people chum with bits of shrimp or crab to bring the fish on to the flats.
We try to catch them on light tackle spinning gear or fly. Some anglers will stake up the boat on the edge of the flat and wait for bonefish to come in with the tide. The third way is to pole the boat around on the flats and sight fish for them. This is the way I usually look for bonefish. Sight fishing is when you look for the tails of the fish when they are digging for food.
