A Couple of Videos from Aaron Adams

On any given day, only 10% of the water may hold bonefish. The more successful anglers know how to eliminate the other 90% and put themselves in the right place at the right time. This first instructional video for bonefish anglers highlights what to look for when wading mangrove flats.

Fishing for tarpon at dawn can be a sensational experience. On the best mornings, the water is absolutely calm, not the faintest ripple. As darkness slowly softens into pre-dawn, the mangrove shoreline is suggested by the soft edges between the paling sky and darkly ranging trees, the silence is broken by the sound of a tarpon rolling. Sound is different when not accompanied by sight - more distinct, but no sense of distance, vague sense of direction. Slow light warms the water to gold tainted orange. And the tarpon awaken. And the day begins. This is where we join a recent dawn patrol.
