Anyone ever fished tobago? Last week I was over there and right in Pigeon point beach, to my surprise I saw a few young sharks about 2 feet long in less than 1 foot water. I had some basic fishing gear on me and shrimp bait. Between me and my pops, we got about 5 strikes but could not land any. Hooks were too small i believe, or probably bad technique, but the sharks aways fought free.
Soo vex i didnt walk with my casting net.

Tobago

[ryan99tt]

Tobago has some of the best fishing compared to Trinidad imo. Was up there last week and got 2 hrs fishing from the shore at Pigeon Pt in the lagoon area. Got a 6lb black snapper/pargue and a 5 lb snook. Prior to that I have been spooled of over 250yds of line by giant tarpon and cavali from the surf. From pigeon pt to plymouth there is excellent fishing to be had especially at Grange Bay when the bait are around. BTW its artificial bait only so not sure about the bottom fishing scene in bago. I have seen the biggest snook and tarpon in the surf in Tobago. Snook over 50lbs and tarpon over 100lbs and counting.

wat artificials yuh use? d popper?

manualmx, I was fishing pigeon point on a rising tide where the boats are usually parked. Tried my usual drop shot rig with shrimp and no bite. What more fustrating is the endless bait fish in the water that stealing the bait in no time.
Tried my rapala and bomber artificial for about an hour with no luck. Only when i noticed the sharks in the shallow i had some fun. The sharks were swimming along the coastline, so i dropped my bait a few feet ahead of them. When they smell the fresh, they circle it and then strike. Was real jones. Just couldned land any.

went tarpon fishing this afternoon and ended up in the nursing home with a treble hook stuck in my arm.il post pics of it n the fish tmrw.

I'm sure this will make for a good story in the years to come.

For those going beach...went up Grand Rivere yesterday and eeeeeeef you see jellyfish in the water.I dont know how it is elsewhere but they jellyfish(not man-o-war) were endless.

[Razkal]

made a turn up north coast yesterday, caught some small grunt (blehh..), ONE red snapper and two strawberry groupers and one jewfish grouper...

groupers weren't all that big, biggest was one of the strawberries, 9" long. could have been better but i didn't stick around too long..

caught some small (reaaaaally small, like 3" kinda small lol) cavali, kept two for bait and caught the groupers using that...caught the small cavali using pieces of a cigarette pack foil and tiny hooks lol...

got two ridiculous bites that took off with line but apparently the hook was too small or didn't set at all.

[ryan99tt]

where yuh went on d north?

[Razkal]

past maracas bay, down at the bay at the front of Nanan's Waterfront Resort. There's a sign on the main road and then a drive downhill to the bay, normal mission, nothing outta timin'..its about 15 mins drive past maracas.

there's boatmen around the area and contacts posted there as well, apporx. $100/hr and it's worth it once the fish are biting...they're familiar with the close banks.

[ryan99tt]

u fish from the shore? i lookin for those 2 groupers for my marine predator tank dred...

[Razkal]

well i've fished from the shore there before, the catch is 98% juvenile 100% of the time
but the rare catches are good!...i caught the groupers just off shore with meh boatman bredren.

- i'd LOVE to see pics of your predator setup and some info on the actual setup and long term maintenance

- you should have posted your want for these two species earlier man!! the two strawberries were alive and well till we came back to shore and were kicking up on ice when i got back to trincity an hour or so later...they'd have definitely made it in my live bait bucket! the jewfish aren't so hardy plus it got hooked badly, damaging its gills a bit...so that cap out in the earlies..

i'll keep your need in mind when next i'm up there in the zone where i caught those

[ryan99tt]

oh shox man...well next time...

Jaggernaths on Lower High St. in San Fernando has, or normally has.
Buckshots in Tunapuna also used to sell but good luck in getting them to open the door to let you in

[jsali]

so anybody went the competition on Saturday?

[Razkal]

I didn't. Reeeeeeeeeally wanted to though, but had family plans for father's day. Hope atleast some guys made it. I think, seeing as we have insider info on the tetron competitions, we should organise a group of tuners and head down chag for the next tourney at the base...what say you?
