Bodysurf,
How do I tell a 10 year old boy that I'm gonna take his spinning rod and he has to sit on the beach. He has the only one in the house that is capable of these fish. This is gonna get ugly, I see it now!
I think the sand is from pink coral. I'm running out of time now, so I'm going to have to hit R&R Marine (salmon and steelhead stuff) and will try WalMart ( just because they have stuff that doesn't catch local species anyway). Maybe I can find small light colored lures somewhere between them.
Wadda think of small spinners?

After looking at that website for bonefish and permit, I realize that it was a permit that I came within 3-4 feet of last year while snorkeling in cloudy water. Scared the hell out of me because the first thing I saw was the top fin, edged in black, near the surface...first thing I thought of was "shark"! This was in about 3' of water and it spanned from surface to bottom....a very 'tall' fish. Pretty.
