Very cool report Coley. I'm coming to think that expectation management is the key to traveling in general. My wife and I went to the Bahamas 3 years ago in March, and we only got to fish the first day. The guide said it was usually only windy for a couple days at a time, but we never got to fish another day. Even the sea kayaking was cancelled due to wind.

We leave Apr. 14, and I just booked a couple days for Caye Caulker, so I'll PM you for more details about that place. I'm looking to get a fishing guide for 3 days, and have lined up one for the first day at Ambergris and the third day at Caulker. Would you recommend the middle day at one place over the other? Cuz I still have that option.

We haven't booked the inland jungle stays yet, and I was hoping to learn from your experience.

Oh, about bonefish being easy, well they are when A. you can find them; B. when the wind is not too strong; and C. when the wind is not too calm. When it's calm on a shallow flat, your line and fly has to land gently off to the side or they spook, even at the shadow of the line. My usual stunt is to cast off to the side, and then a sudden gust of wind catches my line and drops it and the fly right on the fish's nose. Then ZOOM; they're gone.
