Fishing morning

Image
The sun is coming up - I am slowly (very slow) getting ready to go fishing with Capt Jeff this morning. We ended up at Celie's Deli because Estels was closed. Jeff ordered us up bacon and egg sandwiches and coffee for breakfast and we ate it on the patio of the Holiday Hotel. Fishing was quite exciting today - my first time ever catching trigger fish - they put up a fight. It was also the first time Capt Jeff and I heard the dolphins breathing before we saw them. That was pretty incredible experience. After fishing the first thing I did after putting the fish away in small packs was eat a nice fresh piece of Barracuda cooked in coconut oil. YUM. Afternoon snack Mark and I shared veggie stir fry with soy protein and brag liquid soy Miss Joy is about to cook up some Snook and Permit for dinner that she just scored of Albero (sp?) her fish guy today. After dinner Miss Joy Mark and I sat on the downstairs veranda and chatted about Maya and Belizean culture. Mark told us what it was li...

Fishing with Peter Graniel

Image
Capt Jeff, DCG, Paul and I had a nice breakfast at Estelle's then went fishing with Peter Graniel. We had a great time caught 46 snappers, and I did take some pictures but unfortunately my camera is holding them hostage right now - will not let me turn it on to get them. I spent my nap time trying to get it to work but did not have much luck so far - fingers still crossed as camera was working a bit better last few days till we went on the boat salt air definitly having an effect. If you see pics between now and tomorrow morning, you know I got it working. Capt Jeff and Paul take the lead Stopped to pick up a hithchiker Yum breakfast at Estels Gorgeous day for fishing Fishing crew ready to go Walking to Capt Peter Graniel's boat Boarding the boat

Up before the Sun

One reason would be am up before the Sun is that Capt Jeff is in town - We are having a fishing day with Abel today. Chatting Jo on coconut phone and getting ready, time moving a bit fast I can tell by the light in the sky I better bust a move have to call Capt Jeff at 5:45 am. The water was smooth and our lines were tight. We could not ask for a better day on the water. Fished 3 spots with the first and third being the best - caught yellow tail, mutton and mangrove snapper. Jeff caught a jack and a mackerel - we had to throw the groupers back they were not quote old enough to keep. Abel taught is that if your line is twisted and stops the reel from turning smoothly - take you hook and weight off let your line out when the boat is moving and it will straighten your line. Next time I see Capt Jeff I will have to ask him how well it worked. Off we go On a sardine hunt Bone fishing Abel throwing sardine net Gorgeous day Boating through the mangroves Heading to first fishing spot Caught...
