If you go in a week to Christmas Island that has the full moon in it the bigger Bonefish will be gathered together spawning.

This usually over at Paris Flats the 3 days following the full moon.

I only experienced it one day out of my 13 trips there early on in the 1980s and 1990s.


Our group of 4 wanted to see what it looked like so the second day we had our guide take us over there.

There were big schools of large Bonefish, many over 10 pounds, swimming around on the surface in about 4 feet of water.

This was how some of the guide got inexperienced angler (dudes) into big Bonefish for photos.


We hook a few big ones but sharks and Giant Trevally chased them down and eat them.

We soon left that mess to go back to walking the beautiful expansive flats for sight casting to Bonefish.
