oh wrt camera gear, i got an olympus tg-610 tough-something...cost around $130us with extra battery and 8gig mem card..very nicde camera for our kinda activity, shock proof from a 15ft drop, waterproof to 16ft without a case...14mp and nice selection of auto modes and one button recording for quick captures....only gripe i have is that the camera is slow in scrolling through the menus/functions/mode select...needs to be on or you'll miss the tarpon jump, the rod bend and all the cool action shots you want! lol

wouldn't mind upgrading this summer to something with similar features but newer and maybe faster operating...what you looking at ryan?

ryan99tt · Postby **ryan99tt** » May 6th, 2012, 3:07 pm

I went out sunday to do some banking, fish start to bite like crazy the 2 hrs before the full tide but we had to leave to come back inside. Real big cro cro and salmon to 2 pounds, some small sharks and like we hit a catfish bank

Real catfish too, but they went down good with some hops bread.

got plenty carite play around Crondstat, Carrera and Nelson too...the schools keep moving (but stay close to the five islands area), so unless you have a fish finder to track them easier. what i did was fish the spots i know they hang at until i get a bite and keep them around with fresh raw chicken liver in the bait well.
the chicken liver kept the live bait fed, energized and living vigorously all day in addition to keeping the carite just down current from the stern

wraith · Postby **wraith** » May 17th, 2012, 9:35 am

Does anyone have any idea how to get the location of some of the deep drilling oil rigs that are between Trinidad and Grenada.

Many persons have great luck fishing around oil rigs and am willing to travel to fish off one but need to know the closest one to Grenada.

Where can i find this type of info. and are we allowed to fish around them?

16 cycles · Postby **16 cycles** » May 17th, 2012, 9:47 am

fishing under an oil rig / platform could be dangerous for you and the ppl operating them

any release of hydrocarbons + ignition source nearby = fried fish + humans

Razkal · Postby **Razkal** » May 17th, 2012, 10:36 am

^usually rigs are in deep water, you basically would never be able to fish directly under the platform, as your bait will end up way past the targeted location...currents are a beyotch.

find the current direction, start far up current, slowly drifting into the platform..mark where you started and keep looping back to there...never actually reaching within 20-30' from the platform...
the big ones, chill around the platform (different species at different depths) waiting for easy meals to drift by in the stronger currents...

wraith, i googled any info on grenadian offshore platform locations and got nothing useful

Razkal · Postby **Razkal** » May 17th, 2012, 10:39 am

www.rigzone.com

closest i got to finding a rig nearby...that site does nothing for the fisherman though :lol:

wraith · Postby **wraith** » May 17th, 2012, 10:53 am

16 cycles am not going to be directly under it, but I would like to get close enough to be able to get to the big guys that are below it.

Razkal that is exactly what I would like to do but we don't have any in our waters but I do know you see them from the plane so I don't mind traveling 1/2 day to get to it.

There are many video's out there where guys fish below the rigs without a problem.

eg.

Just to add on "16 cycles" comment

If you are within the 500m for a Rig or Platofrom some operators in Trinidad will request that you leave the location because of Safety and Security concerns. One of the "Operator's vessel" will be with you until you depart.

seen this many times- supply boats chasing off pirogues.... on the flipside, also saw guys with pirogues tied off to platforms fishing... some guys on the rig managed to trade some food and drinks for a coupla large barracuda and snappers.
