Five years ago, I had never heard of a bonefish. The first man who ever spoke to me about this species said to me, very quietly with serious intentness: 'Have you had any experience with bonefish?' I said no, and asked him what kind that was. His reply was enigmatical. 'Well, don't go after bonefish unless you can give up all other fishing.'
