The gray ghost. Phantom of the flats. The silver shadow. 

Bonefish are an iconic inshore species with many monikers and a presence that is often felt but rarely seen. Their elusive behavior, expert camouflage and skittish personalities make bonefish the quintessential poster child for shallow-water sight fishing.

Costa Sunglasses’ latest film, Hooked On: Bonefish, explores the pursuit of this prized gamefish, which requires expert casting and delicate execution to be successful. Through tagging and conservation efforts, the quality of many historic bonefish fisheries is improving, as is our understanding of the species’ movements and patterns. 

Costa’s ‘Hooked On’ series highlights gamefish that have captured the attention of anglers for generations. Other films in the series include Hooked On: Bluefin, Hooked On: Redfish and Hooked On: Sailfish.
