Had many adventures where I catch they keep type deal plus the place we stay at I always load up on food, the room bottle of rum and give it to the new friend I have found.....end of my trip I simply hand over my spare rod and gear to them as a show of appreciation....man the locals sure can put you on fish in no time at all. Good luck and post up your trip. |
Also be carefull when wading.
A very good friend of mine goes every winter and last yr. while fishing he stepped on a small Sting Ray. Very small town and no doc or anyone to assist him. They made the decision to leave and when they got back home to Airdrie the emerg. sent them to the Foothills where the wound was opened and cleansed and he was on anti biodics for quite some time. Now a yr. later he still has some lasting issues. Lucky it was not a bigger Ray or who knows what would have happened. So, take care and always watch where you step in the water. |
A standard rig for catching whatever is around is a 2 hook chicken rig/pickerel rig/patternoster with some 1/0 octopus hooks and pieces of shrimp/fish as bait with a 1/2 to 1 oz weight. Did this in mexico and caught puffer fish, eels, an octopus, jack crevalle, a small pompano, mystery white fish, lizard fish etc. Just grabbed some shrimp from the buffet and was good to go. If you are not bringing pliers i would recommend making your hooks barbless, even the little guys have intimidating teeth. Once I mashed the barbs I was just using a fork or a chop stick to unhook fish.
You can look up how to tie the patternoster on youtube and just tie up whatever you want in some mono or braid. The fish didnt seem that picky. Also if you bring some size 8-10 octopus hooks you can catch the little reef fish that swim around the docks. Can use bread or fish as bait. Lastly if you feel like casting, bring some 1 or 1.5 oz cast masters and fish em around where the waves are breaking or water is hitting the rocks. Skip it across the surface to imitate a fleeing bait fish. We had many needle fish attempt to eat that and some small jacks as well. Seemingly cant reel it fast enough. Not necessarily location specific info but i've done this is several different tropical places with similar results. |
