And the next record bone comes from.........

Goodbye Miami, Bimini, and Islamorada. Even the slightest investigation into New Caledonia shows some monsters from 15 to over 20 pounds. Why can you find them? Because the vast flats make shallow hunting fields quite accessible to ghost hunters. The flats are reportedly deep, but reports and pictures show absolute monsters caught. Typically, the fish are singles or doubles and require stealth, not because of pressure, but because the food availability makes flies and lures so rejectable.

This is a spot off NE Australia that emphasizes a few shots at monster bones, not big numbers. Bob Nauheim of Fishing International says 10 shots a day is a great day...but almost limitless trevally. Very close and cheap for Aussies..pretty far and costly for us Yanks. Put New Caledonia bonefish on google, find the images, and drool!
