Well our first day at St Lucia of the Beach proved to be quite challenging. Considering the amount of anglers and the few fish that came out was evident that the fish aren't really around. Dean suggested that we go take on the harbor which probably will also be a challenge considering that the paddle ski garrick competition was fished over the weekend with 72 paddle skis and only two garrick landed but it was Monday morning and there was a chance and that's enough for me. Now this is really a magical way of targeting garrick being able to use lighter equipment lighter rod and reel and even your braid setup to target them that brings the true fight in this fish to light. Eventually there was no shortage of life bait. All right now with the morsi I just hook it with a circle look through the nose seven o'clock tuna must that circle and a garrick normally grabs its food from from the head. Can you just hook it through the mouth there and that should work. Works for me. And while we're waiting for we're putting one we've got two nice morsi which is the right bait if you don't have razorbellies. Apparently this is all deans in fire but you listen to the oaks whose ass you carrying it. One tom and then your ziris we've put in a whole way a good bait. Normally in the deep sea we'll put one or two hooks with bait and the rest will climb up but the in says yeah it's better to rather put the bait. And of course it does work better with bait in any case. It's just when there's a lot of bait fish out deep. Don't even bother. But so far this morning the bait fish Two fish being skaded. Okay. The bombs're straight here. We've got a film, this will be for sure. Let's open one here, we go, let's go and chat. That's what we're looking for guys. I-I-T We're looking for the treat. There you go. Fighting here. It's nice, there's little history roads. The Kingfisher Eclipse history. Hey, one's a chat. One's a chat. Hey, you lost something there. The Kingfisher Eclipse history. Okay, so, I'm going to look through the map. I just put a cable ties through the top. Close that one. Well, the cable ties they die. You think it? That's through the eyes. Yeah, mine. They die. Come on, man. The carrotine die. Maybe the carrotine die. Just close that cable ties. And then hook. There. It's still something big coming through under the bar. Same boat. Yeah, hello. There you go. You got a little ball sink there. Get it off. You know, so you got a ball sink there. You got a bead, a pass over, a fine seven or a mono. And there's your shan with a circle up on the nose. Okay. So this one will just drop under the boat. And then lay down, we'll put a balloon out as well. Just chuck that there. So we try and keep it at least about, four to five meters. That's about ideal, because the carrot feeds on top. So, we'll come up and chart right next to the boat. Often when you get a bite with the carrot. There you go. Now that's the mochi being so strong. It's still the top guy. Nice. Go. Move it. Yeah! Nice fish. Wow. So everything was in line and the latest method, dening them, or using, was put to the test. We used to use the balloon method for tuna. But on the estrus, I've never used them for carrot. And as evident, this method proved to bring the results. I could definitely not complain about the size of the scaring. And was really chuffed. What a good opponent that gave me a really fantastic bite. Can you grab it? Nice fish there. Got the linoff on it. From the path. Yeah, come here. Come here. Come here. Here. There you go. Hey! Hey! Peabee! Hey, hey, hey. What a beautiful fish. Hey, look at that. The lateral line. This is what they used to sense any movement in the water, and I'm with. But such a pretty fish. The prunces of the sea. I'm going to let this one quickly. I'm going to check the next one. Hey! Come fight. Someone else. Make someone else's midnight morning. Stop on the water, man. There we go. Look at that, guys. There we go. Thank you very much. Thank you. In your backyard, man. Yeah, yeah. That's your game. That's the spot. All in all, a great day on the water. And I definitely can't complain about my result. The rest of the morning produced no bites. And we kept ourselves busy on this smaller fish. Tired in the camera, man. Even got stuck into some smaller sharks. On ultra light tackle. Should you ever want to go to St. Lucia? I'd definitely recommend the new revamped deeper lodge. Catching for families, couples, and even singles. With the on-premises restaurant, as well as different options on safaris and Rover tours.
