went Maracas yesterday, water was as flat as Scotland bay, no breeze and no whitecaps.

True yesterday was real calm, but:

THOSE looking to escape the Carnival festivities this weekend are warned to watch for drama by the seas instead, as a disturbance in the Northern Atlantic Ocean could trouble Trinidad’s western coast over the next 48 hours.
Going camping is a popular activity over the Carnival weekend and campers and sea-goers overall are cautioned to be aware of the possibility of harsh conditions.
A bulletin issued by the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service yesterday stated that a northerly, long-period swell event was forecast to begin affecting northern and western coastlines of Tobago from last night.
Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models forecast the swells to reach the northern and western coasts of Tobago by 8 p.m. last night and the northern and western coasts of Trinidad by midnight.
The coasts were expected to bear periods or wave intervals in excess of 12 seconds, meaning the time between successive wave crests will be 12 seconds or more.
“These long period swells may be low amplitude but as they approach shallow waters, the wave heights can increase sharply and as a result, may lead to battering waves, especially along the northern and western coasts of Tobago and to a lesser degree, the northern and western coasts of Trinidad,” meteorologist Saide Shakeer, stated.
Conditions will also be exacerbated during high tide. Tobago was last night expected to experience localised disruption to sea bathing and nearshore coastal activity.

Water was extremely rough, with huge swells, earlier this morning in Las Cuevas. Boats had to be untied from the shore and moored out in the middle of the bay!

[sMASH]

was up salybia sunday, and a guy speared a big fish just about 50ft away from the bridge, just on the sides of the reeds. he was with snorkeling gear, but wasn't actually seeing anything. some guys on the bridge were directing him how to move, until he was right in front the fish.
i was told it was granticai... and seemed to be 30lbs...
im not a fish person, but that hunt was quite interesting.

Like this?

[HondaPuss]

The one i caught was a little more pale

[meccalli]

It's an albino.

[HondaPuss]

So i shouldn't have curried it?

[BUSHMASTER]

Curry albino cascadu...hmmm

[meccalli]

So i shouldn't have curried it?

lol no, it doesn't matter. It's just a genetic condition, it's rare in the wild because albino animals are easier to see and are more prone to predation i.e most of them get eaten anyway because they don't camouflage.
A shop might have bought it though, if you breed 2 albino fish it's likely some of the progeny will also share the trait and aquarium guys like to have those odd fish.

Chip Chip in season ?

[proton17]

After where the sea meets d nariva river, after dat river mouth, just drive a few minutes drive and anywhere there, it hv real plenty chip chip...

Normally d fish does be anywhere after d beach facility and before the last set of beach houses but the water cleaner past d river mouth, so most of the fish there...

[altec]

tomorrow i going down... i waliking with squid, shrimp if i get, and I have gulp and fishbites to try also

[proton17]

dont bother with gulp or squid, only catfish on squid.

gulp never work there for me.

fishbites are the best but still go with like 4 pound of shrimps, it hv real small zilwan eating out d bait before the better fish get a chance.

[racedriverpro]

Where can I get fishbites locally?

[altec]

I bought a pack with two 12 in strips on amazon. A piece about 2 inches/5cm lasts about an hour to hour and half before you have to replace. Tri fish in grande sell me about a pound of shrimp for $40.00. I cyah buy 4 lbs ah bait at that price.

[meccalli]

You can always use sandfleas. They're free lol. I always get those little longfin pompano with that.

[ryan99tt]

Caught a few of these last over the carnival...this one weighed just under 20lbs...
