Daniels Head Beach |
The next day in Bermuda we went to Daniel's Head Beach Park in Bermuda to try and catch some Bonefish. We had a beautiful day and we had the beach completely to ourselves.
Frank waded in and immediately started seeing schools of Bonefish.

The Bonefish swim in circles at the surface of the water in attempts to catch the baitfish. At times we saw schools of baitfish jumping out of the water in "waves" as the Bonefish swam into the schools to eat them.
It was frustrating to see them all day long and not able to catch even one.

I waded in as well and was amazed at the schools of fish that would swim all around me,

School of small bait fish |
|
School of larger fish |
I saw other sea life as well. First I saw a Sea Turtle, but it would not come in close enough for me to get a good photo.

The next sea life gave me quite a start -- I thought it was a snake! Then I heard there are no snakes in Bermuda, so I researched it when I got home and found pictures of eels that are in the Caribbean. I believe this was an eel, the markings are different on sea snakes. I still don't like the idea of coming across an eel either, so I will definitely keep my eyes open whenever I am in the water.
