Deep sea fishing … third time
Posted by micho under Living in CaymanComments Off on Deep sea fishing … third time
So, I get a “social budget” for my team each year to go do something fun. Great idea, excellent for team bonding. Two years ago, I checked with my guys and they wanted to go deep-sea fishing. Last year, I was told that we had to go deep-sea fishing again. This year – guess what? Fishing it was a 3rd time. I see a pattern here! 🙂
Ok so here is our ride for the day! We took a whole day expedition, starting at 7:30am and back around 3:30pm.
It was not too long before the fish started to bite! Here is Marlon who looks like he is fighting a 2000lbs whale – at the end of it all it was a small Barracuda. We got a good laugh out of it 🙂

Paul, our resident joker with two tuna’s! As you can see, we have a great time. Amazingly, not a drop of alcohol was consumed on the boat.

Probably the biggest fish of the day – unfortunately a Barracuda. These just get tossed back as most people do not eat them. It is possible to get VERY sick eating barracuda. Apparently, if you give a piece of the Barracuda to ants and they eat it, you are good to go. If not, no-g0. Personally, I am not going to risk my health on the opinion of some ants!
… and the haul! A bunch of tuna’s and a “strawberry grouper”. All very tasty. I had some tuna sashimi that very night and the grouper the next day.

This was pretty much our path on this day – out from the North Sound, then West to 12-Mile Banks where we spent most of the day. Then back towards Grand Cayman, but to outside of Seven-Mile Beach (maybe 1-mile offshore) and the back to base.
As for charter company, this year we went with Cayman Offshore Adventures. Same captain as last year who now has his own company/boat. Great guy and lots of fun. Also highly recommended.
