(Me eh no big fisherman like allyuh nah)

But those things ugly no shiet!

[RichieRich]

any pics Raz?

[Razkal]

^nah rich, i had the cam eh, but wasn't anything spectacular this rounds, the kings were same size or smaller than what Sweaty posted a page back from the last trip..

the bonito were even smaller, used one for banking bait and released the other.

i took pictures of the gear though

[reeLpACE]

ryan99tt,
where exactly u caught dem tarpon? reason i ask is cuz i went hunting for them and nuttin....it seems when u want them they not around and vice versa.......


i wanted to try for some sharks this wknd...... any of you guys can give me some ideas, rigs, bait that work best for you?

[ryan99tt]

Razkal, sry dude the tarpons were bigger, the smallest was about 20 sumting and the biggest is probably bout 40 sumting or cud be more...the scale we were using was seriously off...we kept the 7 event hough i wanted to release them...each one of the guys on the trip took one each...but it have real plenty action there now, we were trying to catch dem on 10lb and 15lb test wen we caught enough...real nice battle..lol

reeLpACE, we got them rite in the 1st bocas, slow trolling live bait...we actually had 2 double hookups on dem...

[ryan99tt]

here are the much awaited pics....most of the tarpon were released, the 7 kept were for the 7 guys who wanted one...total fish count was: 7 tarpon, 2 cavali, 2 bachine and a kingfish...

[RichieRich]

[X_Factor]

i'll be in bago as well but just from friday morning by boat and comin back saturday evening with the plane
staying not too far from store bay

[Razkal]

ryan99tt, X, check out http://hardplay.net/captain.htm

a bit pricey, but if you want trophies and monsters, he's the man.

may cost you ~$1500.00 for the day i think...


if not, pop in a vehicle, take a drive along the north and check those fishermen at and around Englishman's bay and Parlatuvier Bay..lots of cool cats there to sit and chat with....some will be willing to offer you a half-day charter or similar for less than Frothy's price.

[Razkal]

ok, my bad, i just saw the "rates and bookings" tab on Hard Play's site. rates start at US$110 an hour, minimal 4 and max, 9 hours....VERY pricey.

btw ryan, nice catch! those tarps must have been hella fun!

Yeah.... frothy is expensive. Better bet is to get someone with a pirouge for 600 - 800. They will get you some fish, maybe not monsters but you'll get fish.

Im waiting to hear from my waste of time cousins to go fishing with them on the north.

[Razkal]

i'll be in tobago from august's end or early september for strictly fishing..probably gonna stay there a week or so and try lots of inshore and some offshore and reef-edge fishing..

always wanted to do it and this year i'll get my lazy ass up

[DrunkenMaster16]

Might be over there in similar timing, if so we'll bounce up.

[33 hertz]

Don't forget to give me a shout when youall up here

[DrunkenMaster16]

yeah troy, still got your number here for my next visit.

[ryan99tt]

yea, i feel i guh check up parlatuvier an see who wud take me out for sum gd fish....razkal pm me the contact for d fella u went out wit up maracas nah...

[X_Factor]

when we were there earlier this yr, i got a really good link with a boat man....but i lost my fone along with the number

all i remember is directions....its located in a little piece of mangrove not too far in bon accord somewhere past the water treatment plant

[ryan99tt]

X_Factor, how much he charge? was he name and wat he takin yuh out to ketch?

[33 hertz]

X_Factor that is Bon Accord Mangrove. Just head North on four roads junction and you will meet up the spot where the boats head out to No Man's land. If you go there after 9am you will get to meet up with some boat men and negotiate a price.

If you have transport its better to head down country and talk to the fishermen, you will get a much better price than at Bon Accord. There is a guy named Paul in Speyside, you can ask for him by Jemmas, he usually takes $100us to carry you out for the entire day.

[jramsarran]
