The Maldives is not famous for bonefish fishing but they are certainly around and you can sight fish for them in some flats.
I spotted splashes quite a distance away and slowly waded towards that direction. I wasn’t really expecting bonefish as it was nearly waist deep waters and was quite a commotion.
When I saw the splashes again I decided to cast and try my luck although I was still not that close. The fly landed not on target but close enough.
The Nautilus X Screamed with Joy
Something grabbed it almost instantaneously and took off. After a few seconds with line rapidly spilling out from my Nautilus X reel, the run felt familiar and I suspected it may be a bonefish, and a nice fish if it was.

Only after a couple of minutes when I finally managed to get the fish closer to shallower water that I was certain that it was a bone. I was ecstatic when I saw it’s chunky size!
