I believe it. There's proof at the Destin fishing museum of Bonefish being caught around here even many years ago. =)

I've caught coolers full of snook near 3-mile on cut bait.  They don't grow very big and don't have the stripe like in S. Florida.  Cool thing about north Florida snook is you can cut them up and use them for bait to catch more snook.

Are you reffering to the bonefish story or connors jigs?

 

I was referring to Catching a Bonefish......I'll give the benefit of the doubt that he THOUGHT it was a bonefish, a case of mistaken identity maybe.

Bay Pirate, I assure you that there was no mistaken identity. I wouldn't be very good at my current job (fishing guide in the lower Keys) or at my future job (marine biologist) if I couldn't ID a bonefish.

I can assure you that Taylor does not misidentify any fish in Florida. He is probably in the top 3% of knowledgeable fishermen on this forum. If you don't believe the story, please don't waste time posting your opinions. This story is not just "possible" but it is very believable. I really don't understand why you wouldn't believe Taylo's report, and is CERTAINLY have no clue where you think you're entitled to get on here and state that his report is "crappola"

I really don't mean to be confrontational, but it just seems so silly to call this report crap! Bonefish have been caught up here before. Snook have been landed on occasion. Why do people get so skeptical?? Sure, it isn't likely, and it's probably nothing anyone could target with any success. But shoot, let's just be happy a fellow fisherman landed a cool fish and has a story to tell.

Taylor does guide trips in south Florida all summer, and he is a Marine Bio student at UWF. I (and everyone else on here should) trust what he says when it comes to identifying any fish that might frequent any Florida waters.

Once again Taylor, GREAT JOB!

Man this is fish story telling at its best:   (an American Institution

  1. Our Bonefish slayer is in the top 3% of fisherman on the forum 
  2. Coolers full of Snook, now that's a beauty too.   (Although a stray snook that typically don't travel much farther North than the Cedar Key area have been reported here and there, with pics )
  3. When do we get to hear about the Sailfish caught in the Yellow River?

I don't really understand what is so difficult for you here. Are you really that narrow minded that you you refuse to believe this happened, and then go further and continue to post pointless crap?? If you don't believe what Taylor wrote, that's fine. But, please don't cloud a good post with your ignorance.

i just find it hard to believe that a man of your knowledge is givving this guy so much shit about catching a bonefish in pensacola.... i've seen one caught before, a couple other folks have seen it done before, yet you think that the angler (who runs charters down in south Fl) has mistaken a SKIPJACK for a bonefish????

come on?????

use your noodle.

1st, I'm not giving him any gief, there has been NO personal attack....BUT....when everyone started going "gaGa" over it...I just chimed in that's all!

2nd...I didn't write any commentary with fish ID documentation...I did however post facts....it is up to the readers interpretation.....

besides, the redfish bite wasn't good today, so its like watching a movie..private enjoyment so to speak...."tweak"

But my stuffed flounder is about ready, gotta go eat!

PS: this a redfish....

 

gotta Bonefish pic?

Guys guys guys, what's up with all this. This was my first post after getting home from the Keys and I thought everyone would like to know that a bonefish had been caught off of GB and now it's turned into this. The fact is I went out to deliberately catch ladyfish to use as shark bait and during that process I caught a little bonefish. Take it or leave, I don't really care. I was just sharing something interesting. For those of you that have stood up for me, thank you. Now I must take my leave, because my seared wahoo is getting cold.

nah....I'm sure as hell not a friend of yours, I don't associate with pricks.  Wouldn't know you from Adam if I bumped into you.  But coming on this mans thread and calling bullshit that he caught a bonefish in Gulf Breeze and in insinuating that what he caught was a ladyfish was a slap in the face.  So yea, friend or no friend, you're making an ass out of yourself....and on top of that you keep bumping the thread up and making dumb ass remarks just to try and stir the pot
 
And just for the record, I'm not a friend with the person who started this thread either
