Agreed. Each fly alone can run you $10, and if you are lucky, you might lose $50 worth in a day. (That would mean you hooked up with five very nasty bones, which is the essence of why you want to do it...) I am booked to bonefish next month in the Bahamas, and they charge $90 for rental of gear, and I still paid for it. FWIW, I think Abbie charges $275 for half a day, $375 the whole day either at the reef or the flats, gear included, bring your own lunch.
