limeyangler Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 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

manitoubass2 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 Jesus Simon! That looks amazing! I'd love to try those dishes. They look "fresh" as well if that makes sense Also, your crazy wading with your stringer around your waist in barracuda waters lol
limeyangler Posted February 13, 2017 Author Report Posted February 13, 2017 "What are you"?! Awesome! HH AWE SHUX! Jesus Simon! That looks amazing! I'd love to try those dishes. They look "fresh" as well if that makes sense Also, your crazy wading with your stringer around your waist in barracuda waters lol 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.........
manitoubass2 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 Lol. I just mean a cuda jumping to grab fish that are dangling from your leg Yep fresh is where it's at! But just the addition of Olives, capers, lime etc make it look like an amazingly refreshing meal. Can't wait for the shark episode! Amazing adventures dood!
Rattletrap2 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 Absolutely Awesome! Both the fishing.....and the cooking!
Jds63 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 geeze Simon !!! you're like the guy on the Dos Equis commercial !!! Like HH said ... "what are you ?" Lol
Korber Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 I'm going to Runaway bay in Jamaica soon. I want to bring a rod and reel with me to do the same! Looks like so much fun, but your a little nutty with stringer full on your hip lol!
misfish Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 So your just using basically what we use here for jigging trout up here. Plastic swim baits. Thats cool . I also see you have the voice command on your go pro Simon. How do you find the battery life when using that feature ? My new session has it, but have read it sucks battery power bad. Great eats you cooked up there bud.
spincast Posted February 13, 2017 Report Posted February 13, 2017 now that looks like a blast. - none of your secret guacamole this time? I gotta get the recipe from you again -
Old Ironmaker Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 Korber, I haven't been to Runnaway bay for a few years. There wasn't any structure like Simon was fishing from. Mostly sand shoreline with coral reefs off shore a bit. Great diving. I did see a few surf fishing with big tackle towards Ocho Rios. Check with the Hotel you are staying at I remember seeing NO FISHING signs at the old Super Clubs there. Mostly private property along that stretch. Be careful going off the Rez in Jamaica alone.
limeyangler Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Posted February 15, 2017 Absolutely Awesome! Both the fishing.....and the cooking! Thanks man, I love our trips out there! geeze Simon !!! you're like the guy on the Dos Equis commercial !!! Like HH said ... "what are you ?" Lol LOL....SIMON BE LIKE............ I'm going to Runaway bay in Jamaica soon. I want to bring a rod and reel with me to do the same! Looks like so much fun, but your a little nutty with stringer full on your hip lol! Feel the fear and do it anyway....lol. So your just using basically what we use here for jigging trout up here. Plastic swim baits. Thats cool .

Great eats you cooked up there bud. 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. now that looks like a blast. - none of your secret guacamole this time? I gotta get the recipe from you again - LOL...would you believe it, not a single avocado to be found in Antigua!
LeXXington Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 Wow that's how i need to vacation!!
Old Ironmaker Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 I hear you Simon about buying what they call "fresh fish" at the grocery store. Unless I see a fish that still has the head on it and I can smell it that fish isn't coming into my home. Most of the chain stores get their fish delivered Mon or Tues. AM. They were probably caught the previous Thurs. or Fri. at the least. By Wed the heads are cut off, by Saturday they are taken out of the cooler on ice and packaged. Their fresh fish may be 2 weeks old by the time people get them home, yea fresh. I cringe when people tell me they had Capt. Highliner fish sticks for supper. After all it's fresh frozen. Oh my.
adempsey Posted February 19, 2017 Report Posted February 19, 2017 Very cool! Likely I'll be in Antigua in December. Never go fishing though, lol. Probably should.
