The weather for the last 5 days have been on a warming trend which has brought the water temps up and along with that comes the fish!!!  The Permit and Bonefish has been very productive, but the big story is the Bonefish!!!!  Last Jan. & Feb. you would have been hard pressed to find a Bone anywhere in the keys due to the very cold temps we had, but this year the temps have been on the normal side and the bones are back to normal for the winter time pattern!!!!!  This time of year I look for bones in deeper basins on both the incoming and outgoing tides.  Look for the fish to be in 3-6ft of water in large schools moving up and down the current searching for food!!!  Since the fish are in deeper water and usually on darker bottom, you will have a hard time seeing the fish..  Instead of looking for a fish, I look for signs of fish.  I look for little puffs of mud which is the biggest indication that bones are around.  Once I find the puffs, I then look for darker shades of color on the bottom.  The bones this time of year will be in large schools and the school will have an appearance of a dark patch of grass which in this case is not grass but the school of fish slowly moving along the bottom!!  Simply cast your bait or fly way out in front of that dark patch and let it sit.  Once the dark patch is close to your bait simply give it a small twitch, then let the fish do the rest..  If you can not see the dark patch but you are seeing the puffs of mud cast your bait way out in front of the last puff that you have seen then do the same as stated before!!!  Remember that the puffs of mud you see is where the fish was, but not where they are now.  Bones will filter mud out through their gills as they grub food off the bottom and then begin to move on to find their next meal.  By the time you see the puffs the bones most likely moved 5-8ft ahead of the puff.  Take your time and try not to push them to hard and you will start to see a puzzle that is coming together in front of you, once this happens you will notice that you can stay with these schools for a long time and pick away at them...
