I really enjoy your videos. Just the right amount of info. People can't remember lots of detail, especially when they are fishing and are excited. Fundamentals are what you need and then let the guide get into specifics. Well done.
Excellent! You'll love it. It's good adrenaline when you spot that fish, make a stalk, then choose when to deliver that perfect delicate cast. Like bowhunting with a fly.
Hello from Coos Bay Oregon Excellent tutorial, Do you have a recommendation for sunglasse tint(s) for the varying conditions? Many thanks....keepemtight
One thing I’d suggest when doing that calibration cast to find out what they call twenty yards is, is measure out how much line you cast out in arm lengths too.
The great thing about bones is they are more common than some think. At my favorite Yucatan resort surrounded surrounded by Mex. NWR has nice grass beds, springs, rocks and flats... and plenty of bones. The sargasso sucks, but their are still plenty of bones where the habitat is decent. High winds, sargasso and murky water are the norm, so sight fishing doesn't always work, at least where I am right now.
@@redsflyshop On days with low wind and calm surf you can see schools of them practically up to the water's edge when snorkeling. Unfortunately those days can be rare where we stay, but I did have some luck one afternoon. What a fight those guys offer. My first bone of any size and it fought like a fish gone crazy.
Bone fish tips 101 , when doing videos make sure you have a muff on you microphone, this is a great informative video, I wish bones were as plentiful here in the Tampa Bay Area , as they are there ,is to much run off here the water quality is perfect for them , but will make a run down to the keys one day and give it a shot , thanks for posting👍🏼
Thank you, I never go on these trips with the intention of doing a film so often I don't bring anything more than a GoPro or a phone, but I'm getting better and now have a good DJI mic with the dead cat muff so hopefully in the future I'll get the audio smoothed out.
I have not, we sold AF for a while and I liked their lines. I haven't used one in years but I hear nice things. Sounds like that company is on the rebound.
That's the Fishpond Thunderhead Submersible Lumbar, I have an insert for it too that is really nice for the org. Here is a good rundown, check it out and thanks for watching the channel! th-cam.com/video/gI9F9GTYoiQ/w-d-xo.html
Sound production dude - First the strip club beat drowning you out - then the wind - spend the buck thirty eight to buy a windscreen for your microphone

Thank you Dan, very nice feedback. I love what I do here at Red's. Really appreciate it.
I'm off on my first ever flats trip soon to Cuba and have found your video is really helpful. Cheers and Tite Lines G 👍 🎣
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Just about to buy my first salt fly rod.
Bonefishing is definitely on my must do list.

More of a fane of stalking
Great tips Joe, as always. Those glasses seem to be the Smith Optics Guide’s Choice, if I took a guess. 😉
Actually…. Costa Saltbreak. Just started carrying Costa.

Nice rig. T&T plus tibor Everglades.
Yes indeed. Classy. The Sextant is a fabulous rod. I fished the 8 and 9 weights a ton and will post a review very soon.
Great presentation!
Thank you!
Excellent video..I’m on Kauai trying to figure it out..!
I have spent a lot of time on similar flats back in the day. Excellent instruction!

Great point, there is a lot of fishing to be done if you are willing to look close while others drive by. Good reminder.

@@redsflyshop 🌴 glad ya got a new microphone and fluff, I look forward to seeing new fly fishing vids 👍🏼
Great video. Are you using a tapered leader, such as Rio’s 9’ bonefish leader and adding 16# fluorocarbon to the tip? 15’ total? Thank you
Excellent video! Thank you.
Have you ever used the Airflow Flats Tactical Taper? What is your opinion?
I have not, we sold AF for a while and I liked their lines. I haven't used one in years but I hear nice things. Sounds like that company is on the rebound.
Great video, what fly was that you held up to the camera?
That is a Bonefish Scampi. Yum!
Thank you.
Videos are killer man. Who makes that hip pack?

What pliers are you using? As usual, great content and instruction. Thanks
An old set of Simms pliers, they are really great. Totally worth the money. Wasn’t sure at the time but 10 years later… still pinching.
@@redsflyshopquick q - the link in description for leaders I believe are the nylon ones. Are flouro leader absolutely necessary?
Not "essential" but Fluoro is better IMO. Tougher, less visible, just slightly more expensive.@@BROWLANDROSS
The video is great, the music is a little distracting while youre talking
Yes the music sucks I know. I should have just left the wind noise in there, it was blowing out the mic.
