What a great week this is going to be thanks to Nevin (Pinky) Knowles of the Long Island Bonefishing Lodge who generously donated a week of fishing as the Grand Prize for the Do It Yourself Bonefishing Sweepstakes. The Grand Prize winner, Noel Villard, myself and six other fisherman finished our first day under beautiful Bahamian skies and a manageable wind. But it was looking a little doubtful when we arrived yesterday. Here is a shot of Barry Morse from the U.K. finishing yesterday in a monsoon. But as so often happens in the Bahamas we woke to a brilliantly sunny bonefishing day. For the first day, fishing was reasonable as everyone got adjusted to the Assisted DIY concept offered at the lodge. With most of the anglers landing fish including yours truly who hooked seven and landed five. So a good start to what will no doubt be a fantastic week. Had to include this shot of Sonny Culp who joined us from Birmingham, Alabama holding his first ever Bahamian bonefish.
