Bonefish, found most often in salt water flats, are often called ‘gray ghosts’.  They are one of the most popular, if not the most popular, species amongst salt water fly fishing enthusiasts the world over.

Also among the most sought after game fish are spotted sea trout, redfish, and tarpon.

Regardless of what you select, there is no doubt that you will find great fishing by just heading out.  Saltwater fish come in all shapes and sizes to please everyone.
