I booked an outing with Ian for my first saltwater fly fishing trip, and it exceeded my highest expectations. Ian is incredibly knowledgeable and quickly brought my casting up to scratch, and then put me on the fish. We moved around a few stunning bays before I hooked my first bonefish, about 23" and a superb fight which I will never forget! We saw plenty of fish, and towards the end of the trip a bonefish which must have been 30" plus. Ian is also expert at moving the boat into position in winds which quickly changed direction. Highly recommended!

Ian, Thank you for an amazing day! Bennett, our 12 year old has been waiting for 3 years to fish with Ian. He finally got his chance yesterday and had an amazing time! He caught Bonefish, Barracuda, Gray Snapper, Bonita, Red Hind and a Bar Jack.
Ian went above and beyond! He cleaned the fish and we had fresh snapper for dinner!

What a great day on the water with captain Ian. The weather was gorgeous, scenery was epic, and the fishing was fantastic. Ian got us set up with plenty of opportunities for bone fish and hog fish through the day. My wife pulled in an epic 28 inch bone and almost boated a hog fish. You can tell Ian is very passionate about fishing and it was a team effort out there. The excitement he got for us while fishing was like another person in the family cheering us on. The rods and reels used were also of top quality and easy to cast. I highly recommend booking a trip with Ian and I know we are going to be looking at coming back and trying our hand again at some bonefish and hogfish on the fly.

Timely in his arrival and very knowledgeable of the area. He basically rules the roost when it comes to flyfishing Inn Bermuda. Communication beforehand was good however he always threw the ball back in our court to confirm we were there we were ready and he was ready along with the weather and other conditions. Our job before hand was to always call by a certain time. Overall once again knowledgeable and a teacher but a bit heavy handed in my opinion. He put us on about 25 bonefish . My buddy got one. I had a shot at a hog fish, which very few have ever been caught on fly. Ultimately I guess we had some tough conditions with the wind out of the west and he did his best. he’s very passionate About what he does and tries his best.

Fishing with Ian was the highlight of our stay in Bermuda. We highly recommend fishing with Ian on his very comfortable boat. We enjoyed his company, his expertise, his knowledge and caring of the local ecosystem and geography, as well as his efficient but easy going manner that made fishing fun and deepened our appreciation of this beautiful island. Our Bonita was delicious- he even prepped it for us. We will definitely be booking with Ian again!

Great day with Ian on the water. My son is a great fly fisherman in the freshwater, but going for bones was a whole different ballgame. Steep learning curve. Only landed 2, but missed many by a just a millisecond! Ian got us to where the fish were, we saw them, and had a blast trying to land them. He’s a great communicator, great teacher, and just a fun person to spend the day with. We hit probably 15-20 different areas, and didn’t spend time in areas where we couldn’t find the Bonefish! We would not hesitate to book another trip with Dem Bones. Thanks for a memorable day!

Terrific guide. First time ever fishing for bonefish and he was determined to ensure I was put on fish. He did not disappoint. If he had a better fisherman on the boat, would have been a record day. 😂 Capt, Ian is extremely patient. Put me on more than 15 huge fish in less than 4 hours. Caught a huge 28+”/10 lb+ bonefish. Couldn’t have asked for better. Even had to deal with less than ideal conditions. Would definitely recommend. Thank you again so very much for a memory making day. 🙏🏻

Came down for my first visit to Bermuda and was excited to hear there was bonefishing. Went out with Ian and had a blast. Showed me a lot of the island, had fun conversation, and put me on a bunch of hogfish and bones. Had some greats throws and at the end caught a barracuda on fly. Absolutely check him out if in the area and looking to get out on the flats in Bermuda. Thanks Ian, I will plan to hook up again with you next visit!!

Awesome day for our boys! We scheduled a morning charter for our two sons (16 and 13) during our vacation to Bermuda. It was the highlight of the trip for our two boys !! Ian took great care of them and put them on the fish ! Highly recommend this fishing charter while in Bermuda .. our boys can’t wait to go back out with Ian on our next trip to Bermuda.

Ian is a fantastic Captain and guide. Knows his waters, knows the fish and can spot them from a mile away. He was patient with me and helped improve my casting. We saw lots of bonefish and a hog fish as well as plenty of marine life, eagle rays, turtles, jack fish. Great way to see the island! Highly recommend Captain Ian and Jump Dem Bones!

How far out to go in the boat? Is it rough waters? Is it a type of fishing trip that one could get sea sick on?
Written March 3, 2020
It is all inshore, I haven't had anybody get sick yet.

Hello. Our September cruise would be docking at 1pm and leaving at 1pm the following day. It would make me nervous to do 8-12 and make it back to the boat before it leaves. Do you offer any late day fishing to accommodate?
Written July 8, 2018
This guy Ian who owns the boat is super accommodating. If he’s not already booked, bet he would do whatever it takes to get you guys out on the water. He literally picked us up & dropped us off at the house I was renting.

Hi Ian,
I am good with a fly rod by wife is not. I want to know if I could fly cast and my wife could use a spin rod. I know some times it doesn't work well together.
Written January 5, 2017
Yes I have both options. You may have to fish one at a time if you are using fly.

What is the fishing like in June? Looking to fish for Bone fish, maybe Permit, or if there are any around Tarpon.
Written December 18, 2015
June is usually nice. Permit are rare. Tarpon usually in Sept/Oct. We do have hogfish.
