An Eventfull Day........


Tim Un Wine ding.


We set off a bit late this morning but better prepared than we have been. We thought it might be a good idea to buy some bait instead of relying on our luck and then failing to catch the bait fish that we needed. We bought shrimp and Ladyfish from the local tackle shop and set off. We anchored near a bridge known for some good fishing and tried out luck. The bites came thick and fast, so fast that I took my eyes of one of my rods for a moment and then watched as it dissapeared into the deep. My first thought was to remove my wallet and sun glasses and dive in after it but it dissapeared from view before I was able to.  Lucky really because that would have been a stupid thing to do.
I set up another rod and carried on fishing cursing my bad luck. An hour or so later Tim found himself snagged up and found fishing line tangled around his own. On pulling up that line my lost rod and real were revealed fully in tact.  An amazing stroke of luck.
We caught some nice fish and lost some nice ones. Snapper, Jack Crevalle, Spanish Mackeral, Catfish were the ones in the boat, the others that got away we will never know.

An Eventfull day.

  4. Hi Tim and Mike, Mike B and Dave P would like to see some photos of a couple of whoppers, we've looked up the fish with one tooth and it is called a Large Mouthed Ottowoski !
    Have fun and hope you are having a great time.

  5. I think you are being a little hard on the fish but since I've eaten it, it is unlikely to be offended. Missing you all sooo much.
