  1. Yeah I wondered about that too, using the lights while fishing is a no already, probably using automated fishing is not a go either, however I would not use it for that. Imagine using it to scout a large area for whitefish, but even then it could get tricky in the future, I don't know if they have banned drones for scouting while hunting but sure it won't be long if they haven't, this would be the same type of deal just underwater. The video I could take would be amazing though, especially under the ice!
  2. Apples and oranges. They were delicious sea fish, you can taste the sea, not something you get with crappie, both delicious in their own way. As for filleting, just as much a pain in the behind as crappie....lol....but lots of meat if you do it right.
  3. Hi all, got into some 'Lookdown Pompano', good fun on light tackle, they were delicious, Caribbean Crappie!
  4. There were some big hairy spiders on holiday......shudder!
  5. Hi All, After 2 weeks of sun and sand it was back to the delights of Northwest Ontario!
  6. I'm terrible at finding words for this kind of thing, but hang in their man, I know I'm a million miles away but just PM if you need anything...K?
  7. AWESOME BRIAN! I'm exactly the same way before a day fishing, toss and turn then screw it...I'm outta here....lol.
  8. I think they are ugly, but they could not call them Ugly Stix as the name was taken. I also held a couple and they felt cheap and chunky and could not believe the price, If I am dropping serious dosh on a rod its gonna be a St.Croix or something similar.
  9. LOL....I won an electric fillet knife last summer in the local bass tournament, gave it a workout, lol....gonna take some practice but probably quicker than the old fashioned way once I get the hang of it. LOL......I was kinda thinking the same thing, mind you it was a pretty small shark! No crappie there bro.....well you make up for it with the trout you catch! LOL....if they hating on me they are giving some other poor bugger a rest. Got an 'Antiguan Crappie' video in the works though
  10. Hi all, A new buddy of mine took me to his crappie hot spot, great morning! Good company, +7C with sunshine and the fish were biting too. All fish in 16 to 17 FOW, very light bite. They were hitting plastics on small jigs but I have to say they liked my spoon tipped with a minnow head better than the plastics.
  11. LOL...yeah it does feel like a defrosted chicken breast!
  12. Hi all, got the chance to swim with the stingrays on holiday, what an awesome experience!
  13. Hiya's, Finally went out night fishing this year while on holiday with mixed results, had a heavy rod with heavy braid and a wire leader, using chunks of fish from the mornings mini session as bait.
  14. sounds like a bunch of old 'farts'.........lol
  15. the Rex was not their the last time we went, hell....the airport was still on the drawing board. Part of the whole reagan thing was because of the international airport. Loads of Cuban workers started coming to the island, Reagan was convinced it was the start of a communist infiltration.
  16. Thanks man, I love our trips out there! LOL....SIMON BE LIKE............ Feel the fear and do it anyway....lol. Yup, not much different gear than I use here, heavier line and leader though. The battery life on the new go pro is amazing compared to the Hero 4, the voice command is sketchy though and I lost a few good video clips of epic snook because of it. LOL...would you believe it, not a single avocado to be found in Antigua!
  17. Yup really feisty! Interesting you mention tides, I should pay more attention to that when ocean fishing. When I lived in England and fished the ocean that was the main thing I would plan my trips around, second only to the wind. Thanks for the reminder, i will incorporate that into my equations next year! They are a ton of fun for sure, super cool to 'sight' fish them too....when you see one excelerate to smash your bait it gets your heart pumping! Secret spot #1! You too eh? I think that too, they even have the razor gill plate! Thanks man, just a head strap mount on the go pro and off you go....lol! no problemo Geoff, more to come from this trip, swimming with the stingrays was awesome too....video coming soon. I never did get to fish them at night this year, heard people use lights to attract bait. We swam with Rays this year, very cool experience and video is on the editing room table, learnt some cool stuff about them too. GIOTTA BE DONE BRUVVER! No problemo HH....more to come! WOW, my dad is from Grenada and we visited there many times. Here is a picture of me (holding up the fish) when we were staying at Grand Anse in about 1979. Probably would not recognize the place now. Shoot me a PM anytime for Antigua! Simon.
  18. AWE SHUX! Nothing like fresh fish, i can't even be near store bought fish, it smells rotten to me now, but i'm spoiled. As for attacks, I would be more worried about sharks than cuda, there have been less than 25 positively identified attacks on humans by cuda in over 100 years. Almost worth a limb to see a nice shark....lol. My next video has a shark in it though.........
  19. Hi all.....again....lol, So, for the last three years when we stay at my brother in- laws house I have been the caterer. I do all the shopping and cook a meal every night while we are there, I enjoy cooking and always throw in a few fresh fish suppers. The island's fishery has been hit hard by being pretty much raped by commercial fishing, and environmental factors so I practice catch and release for probably 95% of the fish I catch there, maybe more. But...I do keep some for the table, and this year was no exception. I headed back to the spot where I was getting snook but headed out of the mangroves and fished the rock/coral shores where the cove opens up to the basin just behind the reef that forms a barrier to the whole bay. I was targeting smaller fish such as Jacks and snapper that patrol these areas, did ok too! VIDEO Some of my creations
  20. Great stuff, i hunt the same way you do, GOOGLE EARTH IS YOUR FRIEND!!!!!!!
  21. Welcome back, Igot the Escape with a consolelast year, solid little boat!
