Fishing Trip and Dolphin Encounter!











Drinking a beer on the dock at Tobacco Caye.
One of several Barracuda's I caught during the day.






This Barracuda was the first one caught during the day and was actually caught on a jigging line after biting the other fish in the picture, 2 for the price of 1:)





Here Mani is trying to land the biggest fish of the day. His line snapped just as the fish was about to be hauled aboard.




A couple of weeks ago during my day off I went fishing with Alex Usher, Crocket and Mani (one of the NA guides for IEC) and had a long but exhilerating day on the water. We caught a large number of fish, especially Barracuda, most of which we donated to the local hospital.



The highlight for me was when we saw a pod of BottleNose Dolphins nearby who soon came and layed in the bow wave of the boat. A few of the Dolphins were also surfing our stern wave and leaping out of the water, it was a fantastic sight!


Of course, a few beers and Rum & Cokes were downed throughout the day. On the way home we also stopped off at Tobacco Caye and had a couple of drinks to celebrate a successful day on the water:) And as all great fishing tales go, the biggest fish of the day got away!
