Fly Fishing the Bahamas for Bonefish by Todd Moen

The inspiration for my T-Motion video, Bahamian "Indiana Bones", materialized inland and at home in Central Oregon. My 10-year old son, who also happens to be my favorite fly fishing buddy on earth, suggested that angler Brian O'Keefe resembled Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Paddling the flats atop his SUP board, Brian navigated the bonefish waters armed with rods and sporting a wild west hat even Indiana himself would likely snag. From my son's perspective, this Bahamian adventure is Harrison Ford's next destination. Eleven Experience's mothership is situated off the west side of South Andros Island, and it is the home base for out-and-back travel for bonefish and many other types of aggressive fish hitting topwater poppers. My drone footage reveals the Bahamas' vast water wilderness, an expansive territory teaming with life in the flatwater paradise. Guides Ornald "Shine" Greene, Dencil Moxey and Elvis Strachen, who are native Bahamians, led us to large white sand flats where Brian caught many different types of hard-fighting fish. With the right soundtrack, and enough shark action to keep even the best rough rider on his toes, "Indiana Bones" takes you on an angling crusade you won't forget. Thank you to Eleven Experience for inviting me down to film this great place on the water and to see the best beat an angler could ever hope for. And thanks to R.L. Winston Rod Company for generously supporting the T-Motion theater throughout the last decade. Please share with your friends and help us get to 100,000 subscribers!!!!

Without a doubt one of the best fishing videos ever. I have never been disappointed by any of your fantastic artistic presentations.

[@ColoradoMiniCrawlers]

I loved the cuda/shark segment!

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks Luke! Glad you are digging it!

[@RodrigoVargas72]

Beautiful. Nice to see Brian O’Keefe still hanging around. Thank you Todd.

[@peterlinton488]

Single cinch knot, this dude DOES live on the edge! Great film!

[@cachi-7878]

This dude is none other than Brian O’Keefe; he’s THE man.

[@flytastic]

Another Moen masterpiece! You really live a dream. Thank you for sharing these extraordinary moments.

[@CatchMagazine]

Thank you very much!

[@davescheer5038]

🌴 I hope he makes a bunch of these videos other wise I gotta keep playin this one over and over again , those fish are gett’n tied of being caught so many times 😆👍🏼

[@CatchMagazine]

More to come!

[@thomastero4662]

A guide I fished with in Andros this year said that O'Keefe would come out and camp alone on one of the Joulter's Cays. He showed me the spot. Absolutely wild place, absolute wild man to camp out there alone and fish.

[@notpopebuthope]

WOW! ... you deserve an OSCAR for this brilliant production! ... funtastic in every little detail - especially those awesome under-water-sequenzes ... AND HERE comes a STANDING OVATION from Europe/Austria! BRAVO!

[@CatchMagazine]

Once again, love hearing from you and thanks for the support!

[@cachi-7878]

A masterful angler, a masterful videographer. What a duo! You never cease to amaze me, Todd. Thank you!

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks very much! Appreciate the support. Thanks for subscribing.

[@adamg7984]

I didn't even know you could fly fish for sharks that was absolutely stunning to watch those sharks tear through the water after the poppers. Amazing as always.

[@TheCasemiester1111]

Incredible camera work...best I've ever seen! You're the man love it, could watch it 100 times...

[@CatchMagazine]

Thank you so much for the nice comment!

[@takackman9325]

Gotta love those pup sharks, you can tell they are just like dogs chasing a ball.

[@CatchMagazine]

I agree! They are so much fun! Thanks for watching!

[@moscaman559]

As always, great cinematography ! Used to own the same Bote Rackham that Brian was fishing off of, solid SUP for exploring, paddling, etc… DIY is the way to go!

[@oliverwhite30]

Excellent video production.

[@bonefish935]

That's not fair at all! I am sitting at my desk dreaming of bonefishing and you post this teasing video. I insist not fair at al. Great as usual Todd.

[@kris-hk4hw]

This guy knows how to handle a fly rod. U the man. Wish we had bone fish in nz

[@akintomeatloaf]

teeming with life Great video as always, Todd!

[@quade7024]

pristine spot for rod-bending and decent bones as well... nice weather... not a clould - any anglers dream

[@thigson189]

Absolutely amazing! By both men ... and all those involved. Yes, I wanna be there! Consistent with your standard of excellence, outstanding work, Todd!

[@drewbrew3178]

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks!

[@timtollett8513]

Great to see O'Keefe doing what he does best, although I heard he can hit chuckars too. Great stuff and for anyone not wanting to fish for shark on the flats all I can say is that you're missing the boat, (although at times a boat is nice so you don't loose any fingers). Excellent footage!

[@CatchMagazine]

Thanks Tim for watching! I agree with the boat part. Haha Hope all is well.

[@upsidedahead]

Great film! I recently acquired a BOTE for fishing from, here in Australia. Had a lot of use thus far. Great for exploring the local bass impoundment. It gets wild up in there, 💥💞🔥✨

[@josephjones9283]

Ive hooked several sharks on the fly, just unfortunately they were able to cut the line before i had a chance to land em. Unfortunately only had one rod with me so whenever the sharks would come around i didnt have time to switch the a fly with a steel tracer

[@riothibodeau5658]

Since i started flyfish Cuda & Shark..; I want more

[@bruceflatow9249]

[@thomastuorto9929]

Another great vid. Iike when you give a glimpse of the fly box. How about sharing your rod/reel combos info for someone who might get to do this some day.

[@SurfSkagit]

First miss show us how NOT to set the hook like trout style. Great touch! Thank you. We need a Skagit casting for SBass from the surf please!

[@4amwaj]

this is actually great! nice job! would have loved a bit of narration as i bet you have a lot to say about this place... its stunning.

By using long nose pliers
