The Bonefish & Tarpon Trust is continuing to search for anglers, guides and others with knowledge of Florida Keys fishing history to help identify locations where bonefish once spawned. This information may help researchers find locations where bonefish spawning still occurs today.

It’s possible that bonefish spawn in the general area where commercial kingfishing occurs. An old article from a 1959 issue of Sports Illustrated describes offshore fishermen who were targeting mackerel coming across large schools of bonefish.
