Wading Bahia Honda

Bahia Honda is a picturesque little key a short distance east of Big Pine in the Florida Keys. Fortunately for anglers, it is also a national park and fringed on the ocean side with white sand flats. Mike Jackson of the Chicago Daily Herald writes about a recent wading excursion there. “I’d be less than truthful if I said finding and catching bonefish here was a snap. In reality, it’s tough going because these fish are smart cookies, in that these silvery rockets have unbelievable eyesight here and are able to see a person’s shadow from a long distance.”
