Bonefish Spawning Aggregations - The Video
Thursday, December 12, 2013 at 12:05AM If you thought the images from a recent research expedition of bonefish spawning aggregations were cool, get a load of the video.
Stay tuned for more epic footage!

Not your everyday baitball.

During a recent Bonefish & Tarpon Trust expedition, Dr. Andy Danylchuk (UMass Amherst), Dr. Aaron Adams (BTT/Florida Institute of Technology), Dr. Jon Shenker (Florida Institute of Technology), and Zack Jud (Florida International University) reconfirmed that bonefish in The Bahamas form massive spawning aggregations at very specific locations during specific lunar days. Using manual tracking and depth sensors, they also documented that bonefish use depths of greater than 160 feet (50 m) when spawning, after which they return quickly to shallow water.

Stay tuned as this team continues to analyze hours of video footage, still images, and biological data. Collectively, this work will help identify sites throughout The Bahamas and elsewhere in Florida and the Caribbean where bonefish spawn and that need protection from habitat disturbance and overfishing.

Friday, August 12, 2011 at 12:00AM 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.
