Summary

Whatever industry you may be in, it is common to hear of the legends. Those people whose name continues to surface in conversations with other customers or competitors. In the inshore fishing business, Capt Joe Gonzales is one of those people. Despite working 150 miles away from one another, I heard Joe's name and stories on the regular. His reputation precedes him as a professional who might actually have some Bonefish DNA mixed in with his. Joe walked me through his Bonefish Rig, you can see detail instructions below with links to the knots the Joe is referencing: To start off Joe uses an 8-foot spinning rod - this gives him a little more distance, especially when fishing out of a Marquesa and the bonefish are more aware of Joe’s presence in such a large boat. With the 8-foot rod Joe is able to cast further and into the wind. Joe uses a light rod (light action) and uses a 20-pound-test and will tie it with a Uni Knot or a Clinch Knot. Then Joe will use an offset 2/o with a bait keeper. He will then bite the tail off of the shrimp and will thread the backside of the shrimp. He does it this way because it is aerodynamic, and head heavy, but also because with the head clipped off, there is some scent as well. Watch the video HERE.
