*Update*

Im back from by Vacation and ended up fishing for about a half a day at what is called Bonefish Point. I figured with a name like that, there had to be fish! I saw one, spooked it, and that was about it. I did hook onto a Barracuda but was quickly cut off.

The trip to bonefish point required a jeep ride down a 7 mile gravel, rocky road. We were the only person in sight. I dont know if I was actually in a "good" bonefish spot or not, but it did look like it was out of a magazine and "fishy". There were lots of starfish, turtles, crabs, and other small fish around. The water was pretty deep for the most part, I would say knee deep for the most part, so I may not have went back far enough in the pocket to find the fish. I also think the tide was high at the time, but not positive. Also, the bottom was not easy to walk on, it was moundy and pretty soft in some areas. I was not expecting that at all. The SUP that was recommended would have been great.( You live and you learn.)

Here are a few pictures from the area I was fishing.

Spot looks super fishy. Knee deep isn't terribly deep but it can make them difficult to see if you're not used to looking for them. I typically like to be in shin deep or less. If the tide was high, they were probably far back up in that lagoon, or in the mangroves if that's what those are in the back.

Cuda and crabs are always a good sign for being in a good area for bones. Likewise with sharks.

Glad you saw one and had a good time. Hope you guys had a nice trip

. We are leaving next Friday for 9 days. I'm getting pretty stoked.

I believe Bonefish Point is in a no-fishing area (nature preserve). Look on the SW corner of the maps below. I'm not sure how far the nature preserve extends offshore from the beach.

It’s important to be aware of the protected areas on Providenciales and elsewhere in the Turks and Caicos when fishing. Fishing inside of a protected area can result in fines, and in rare cases, imprisonment.
