    Little Fish Need Love too

    Not all our island side adventures revolve around big game and purple water... In fact some of the more memorable moments can be found on foot in shin deep gin clear water over white sand bottom. With time to kill over there one of my favorite pass times is finding a flat and wading around in search of bonefish... Not always do I score. In fact only one fish in four long walks this trip. But thats not what its all about.
    The things you see (if you let yourself) are numerous and beautiful. Be it a black urchin with its ten inch spikes daring your sneaker to get a little closer or a foot wide red starfish just standing out like a sore thumb. Might be a ray gently gliding by or perhaps it will be the one you can only see the eyes of burried in the sand... The flats play host to a variety of sharks... Some small and some... well.... enough to make you wish you had stayed on dry ground...
    Its unfortunate that I don't get to tote my camera in the real skinny stuff because there is a lot to see... I do tote it on the boat however and it captures other memories to share...
    Be it a bucket of "berries" fresh from the patch...

    Might be that mutton you were eyeballing under the dock...

    Or how about them nasty lionfish who my mate can tell you first hand hurt like hell when they do get you...

    Maybe they don't have fins...

    You don't gotta go far to find life there... Could be right under your nose as is this harmless nurse...


    Might be a bit grumpier bull tho so I try to stay dry when the water is over my head there...


    Could be something exotic like one of these african pompano...



    Or something tasty like a fat ol yellow edge grouper...


    Bottom line>>>

    BUG!
    Dont leave home without it...

    Many a wonderful hour has been spent on the flats of Florida, Belize parts of Mexico and the Caymans. None were so wonderful as the week I spent in the Marquesas keys, seeing hundreds of Permit on a flat with their tails out of the water looking like Mangrove shuts sticking out of the water. One of the trips to Belize, I caught over 80 Bones in 1 day, almost all of them from a dock...
    MirrOlure when big fish count!

    Nice Pics Deep. Good thing you had glasses on in one of the pictures so those blue lasers wouldn't put a spell on Mary
