Looks like I'll be getting one day to fish on a couples trip to Grand Bahama. We should be going mid November and I'm trying to figure out a strategy. I have taken one trip to Belize fore permit and was completely fine not catching one. From what I understand on the east end of Grand Bahama there are two mini permit seasons, one in June/July and one in Oct/Nov. I have never caught a bonefish so I'm not opposed to it but I'd rather pursue permit (within reason).
I was given two options. First, I can forget the bonefish and stay up on the bow with the permit rod all day. Second, I can stay on the bow with a bonefish rod and have the permit rod right next to me ready for the shot.
I would love to catch a bonefish but if I missed some good shots on permit since I wasn't ready I would be a bit disappointed. Maybe I just fish a 9 wt with a swimming crab and be ready for both?
Has anyone fished the east end of Grand Bahama? Any thoughts?
