Thanks Bob, I didn't realize flies would be heavy enough for spinning tackle. Another fish added to the bucket list

Ed, I've caught a lot of bones on 3 inch grubs and swimbaits. They eat the plastic pretty good. Shrimp colored grubs and keylime hybrids work great.

3" Big Hammer in Ghost shrimp pattern gets the job done.

That is one fish I still need to cross off my list. Nice catch

I've caught 2 bones over the years on plastics. Others have better success. Ghost shrimp are the candy bait in the south bay but I have caught plenty of bone fish, including the one above, on pieces of raw head on shrimp from Seafood City. I imagine bone fish would eat about any worm or crustacean on the bottom. Mike
