[dropcap]I[/dropcap]n February, the water and air temperature is cooler, which means that the bonefish will be further up on the flats and we’ll see a lot of single, doubles and bigger schools tailing (waving their flags at you).  There also will be the occasional. ‘cuda.  For gear and flies, I recommend 8- or 9-weight rods with #6 or #8 Crazy Charlies, Gotcha’s, shrimps and clousers flies, and the green ‘cuda tubes or flies for the ‘cudas, also known as shallow water wahoo.
