Bonefishing Virgin Gorda (BVI) in November

[saltwatermike]

Hey all,

Newbie here. I'm going to be in the Caribbean for thanksgiving, and hoping to get in some bonefishing. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Is end-of-November a decent time of the year for bonefish in the BVI? Is Virgin Gorda a decent place to go? Can anyone recommend a guide service to talk to?

Never been bonefishing before. Hoping that my family trip will allow for a couple days action.

thanks for the help,

Mike

Saltwatermike-

I am going to Virgin Gorda towards the end of this month and went about the same time last year. I found a flat by dingy on the back side of Biras Creek. I caught a few black tip sharks on cuda flys with wire leaders and my buddy caught a Horse Eye Jack on the same. Let me know how you do and where you go when you get back if you have time. I could do a little more explaining if you like about the flat I fished. If I had to guess I think it was Oil Nut Bay. A pretty good flat about 3 feet deep on the east side of the bay, but you could walk the entire beach. I am pretty sure I had a tarpon follow there as well, but was not paying enough attention to be sure. I just saw a 3-4 foot silver flash behind my fly. Let me know if you have more questions or have any hints when you get back.
