As a fly fisherman, bonefish are partly made of an invisibility cloack, kryptonite, and go-go-gadget-speedracer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.248.240.132 (talk) 01:09, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In the Description section it says: "Bonefishing is a deep-water pursuit done in depths ranging from 18 to 88 feet." From what I have read about bonefishing in the Bahamas, it is done is shallow water by wading or poling a boat. You might want to double check this. Also article talks about fly fishing and using live shrimp as bate, which sounds inconsistent. From looking at http://www.bonafidebonefishing.com/ it looks like they are fly fishing is shallow water. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.172.219.224 (talk) 00:44, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it called "bonefish"? Drsruli (talk) 11:40, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Google suggests it's partly because of bony coverings in/over the eyes, and mostly because the tasty flesh has lots of bones.--Mr Fink (talk) 13:43, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
