About a year ago, I went fishing with guys in my team from the office. \u00a0This year, for our group activity, we decided to … go fishing again! YAY. \u00a0Last year we had a whale of a time (pun intended) so we decided we had to go again.<\/p>\n

Brilliant day to be on the ocean. \u00a0Fairly calm and of course nice and sunny.<\/p>\n

Here is what was used to catch the fish. \u00a0A large hook, some “decoration” and a sort of fish used at bait. \u00a0There are about 5 lines out in the water behind the moving boat. \u00a0Most are following behind I estimate at 400-500ft back ; so not too close to the boat.<\/p>\n

We actually snagged a Marlin at one point … it jumped twice but got unhooked. \u00a0The Captain estimated that it was +-150lbs in size. \u00a0Would have been great to see it up close. Oh well, that’s fishing.<\/p>\n

At one point we came upon a floating piece of foam with some netting. \u00a0Turns out it was the “home” of many, many fish. \u00a0There were numerous fish swimming around it. \u00a0It was its own ecosystem. \u00a0Quite amazing actually. \u00a0Anyway, with small fish come larger fish. \u00a0There were a whole bunch of “Triple Tails” hanging around. \u00a0We managed to get 3 of them. \u00a0They look like (see pictures below – the brownish colored fish) a cross between a Bass and a Crappie if you ask me. \u00a0Taste delicious!<\/p>\n

Here i am reeling in one of the Triple Tails.<\/p>\n

The catch so far. \u00a0A mix of Tuna, Triple Tail and Mahi Mahi. \u00a0Cool picture taken by the captain from the up top wheel house.<\/p>\n

The total catch of the day. \u00a0Fairly successful I must say.<\/p>\n

Last team picture after a full day (7am to just after 3pm) at sea. \u00a0Lots of fun. Once again we went with Slackem Charters (www.slackem.com<\/a>). \u00a0A great bunch; we had lots of fun. \u00a0I highly recommend them for Deep sea fishing.<\/p>\n

Last year our captain took us out of the North Sound and along the North Side and beyond East End (up and right) \u00a0This year we went West, all the way out to “12 Mile Banks”. \u00a0So 12-miles out, almost straight out from Seven Mile beach there is a another Cayman Island. \u00a0In fact another Cayman Island that did not make it to the surface millions of years ago when the islands were formed. \u00a0The ocean goes from 3000-6000 ft deep to just over 100ft deep. That place is now called 12-Mile banks and is a fishing favorite. \u00a0Not many boats around and plenty of fish.<\/p>\n

Another successful day on the ocean. \u00a0Cant wait to go again, maybe next year \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

If you are in Cayman and want to do something really fun, cant go wrong with this type of activity. \u00a0You can also book 1\/2 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
