When Bonefishing, it is important to take into account how fast the boat you are standing on is drifting. When you get some serious wind out there on the flat, you are going to be moving through the water faster than you think. This means that it will be harder to stay connected to your flies as you quickly drift upon them. This can make it nearly impossible to feel the eat of the fish. When in this situation, if you see a fish charge and stop, set! He just ate your Crazy Charlie. You can only feel the eat of the fish if you are tight to your fly which can be borderline impossible to do if the wind is blowing you on top of it faster than you can retrieve. On those windy days, rely on your eye sight and the behavior of the fish more than the feel.
