Bonefishing Myth: The Color of Your Shirt Matters

Several years ago we suggested to the flats fishing world that it might not be the best idea to wear a bright shirt when fishing for bonefish. However, since then we’ve seen plenty of bonefish caught wearing just about every color under the sun. That got us thinking..

Light, pastel colored clothes might be a good idea during the times when the fish are spooky, but most of the time on South Andros, the bonefish don’t care what your wearing – Just ask Andros South guide, Tory Bevans.

So, to stress our point, today we present you with a photo of Andros South guest, Jim Atkins, holding a bonefish, while wearing a very, very bright shirt. ‘Nuff said.
