Coley,

I have only fished bones in Belize waaay down by the southern border - Dangriga and south. But there the flats were firm sand and no seaweed issues. I ssupect both issues may be seasonal?

If you can get to South Water Key I can tell you you will find a ton of bones. But they are in water from 2-20 feet deep and they sure didn't seem to fight nearly as well as the ones I have hooked in other places where the water was only a foot deep.
