i head out in de gulf 5 am i hope it have fish

[Razkal]

made a Bocas/north mission yesterday as was said, banking was dismal although we took about 15 one and two pounder reds...it took from 8am to 2pm to catch those 15 fish

big game was definitely around though, made a blooper catch of an eel that got ravaged on the way up til all that surfaced was the head...same happened to two small grunts.

ryan99tt, hardly any tarpon play north/bocas side bro....some guys were fishing for them also and got nothing...saw two monsters do their tarpon aerial thing coming back though....really REALLY big ones!

3-4pm trolling was good but still slow..got a stinkin' lizard fish *barff*, five jack crevalles over 13lbs each and one that weighed 5lbs got thrown back..

a bredren caught the 4.5' 'cuda that left bite marks on three of the five jacks though...beast of a fighter, emptied the baitcaster three times in 20 foot water just darting to the depths outside, was intending to release it (ciguatera poisoning bumminess) but the gaff man was entirely too trigger happy.

[Razkal]

will grab some pics and post up tmrw

[Razkal]

oh btw...

yozuri*f deep divers, live herring finish and standard red head finish were the trolling lures.

i opted not to use the artificial squid rig mainly because it created MAD resistance. too little headroom (i think) to actually fight anything worth catching..better off on better rod/reel or heavier gear atleast...

[todd61]

Way, went out today not a bite whole day from 6am to about 4pm not thing,where de hell all de fish.(was banking only).went south to my power spot not a power in site (not sure if thats how it spell)form south to down de island to our deep sea red fish spot (near de grand) not a redfish in site.
Real day day for us yes.

[HaRdCoRe_YoUtH]

went to Finshing Pond beach today... Water crystal clear loads of mullet in the water... Therefore manzan water suppose to be clearing up very nicely and fish suppose to be biting soon. Wednesday suppose to be good to fish!

BTW caught notting today except what i caught in the fillet...some mullet, bushe, tarpon and zelwan.

[pugboy]

so the big moon had a negative effect on fishing

[X_Factor]

in the market today didnt have the amts of fish i usually see for sunday morning
so thats probably true

shrimp however was selling at a really good price
paid 25$ a lb which normally sells for 30-35!

[pugboy]

the moon thing is pretty bogus imho
esp the local folklore about 3 day before/after

I doubt fish suddenly decide that they wanna get hungry on particular days and not others
or move only based on the moon

[meccalli]

Not to step on any toes, but i do agree that the 3 days before 3 days after should not be a bible law however don't ever get the impression that moon phases have no effect on fishing..It affects large bodies of water and thus fish feeding habits. A prime example would be snook that loves feeding during high current(lateral movement of water) of which is dramatically increased during periods of neap tides .i.e new and full moon. All fish have their habits and looking to moon phases in the wrong light can make you or break you when it comes to planning fishing trips.

[ryan99tt]

Razkal, nice...where u went, along the north coast or around d islands dem? how was the water? i goin ah whole day trolling next time, i have some new equipment coming in soon...going and try some deep water jigging too...

Spoken like a true novice...

Raz a certified bushman in Bago told me that you can tell if a fish is contaminated with ciguatera by placing a silver coin in the blood of the fish. If it turns black its contaminated, if not well you could go ahead and enjoy. Not too sure if its true but it sounded cool lol.

Raz a certified bushman in Bago told me that you can tell if a fish is contaminated with ciguatera by placing something made of real silver in the blood of the fish. If it turns black its contaminated, if not well you could go ahead and enjoy. Not too sure if its true but it sounded cool lol.

is this is folklore per say?
btw what turns black the silver or blood?

[33 hertz]

By the time I headed out Sat, the tide was out and fishing was bummy. Caught a huge eel and a few crabs. Lots of small nibbles but I didnt hold anything. Ended up liming with some locals who also had no luck. They took me to a place through the mangrove where they caught some decent snapper earlier when the tide was in. Place has real decent potential, heading back this weekend during high tide to see what I pull up.

you should try sando wharf for shrimp.i paid $20 for a pound n a half of shrimp last weeknd. from what ive seen ovr the past few years fishing has gone to sh*t compared to what it was a while back. damn trwalers n long liners destroying everything.

It's actually a silver coin, the coin itself supposed to turn black. It was the first time I heard of it, but I saw there was also reference to it on wikipedia. Guess its not proven but the guy has lots of experience in the area.

[Rahtid]
