We just got back from a week on Vieques, Puerto Rico and I'm happy to report that my pet school of bonefish are still alive and well on Encampment Beach. I caught this little four pounder on an unweighted Bunny Bone pattern and it was the first and only cast I made at them all week. I also managed to jump a baby tarpon in one of the local arroyos but didn't land him. It was great to see my house after a year up here in Southwest Florida and report that almost nothing has changed on Vieques. It's still the most beautiful and unspoiled island in all of the Caribbean.
