Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Truth be told, I was thinking about canceling for today because yesterday was nuts. But I thought the better of it so we went.

As we were driving to the ramp, I suggested to George that we try Roots 657 Cafe for lunch and he emphatically said, "No! We are doing Jamaican again". I was not about to argue...

The ride up the river was not as chilly as I thought it would be but we were well dressed.

The water looked spectacular and the flow was fast but manageable.

We hit lots of targets like this but got very few bites.



What was eerie was the lack of bird and animal activity.     

As you know, I like to take a pic of the 1st fish caught and George obliged willingly!



This fatso weighed in at an even 3 pounds! Great fight! It was around 10a when he caught it.

We (mostly George) then caught a few more here and there. Enough to keep us happy.







Then, I made a cast to a seam behind a rock and was able to get this guy!



He went an ounce shy of 2lbs.

All of our fish were caught with some sort of @3" paddle tail.

By now, George has a 7-2 lead on me but we were catching some despite the slow start.

I looked at the time and it was almost 1p and suddenly, I got hungry. But I told George that it would be nice to get one more. It wasn't but a couple of minutes and George caught another one. This time on a tube.

It was time to head to the ramp so we left.

Everything went as it should with the retrieval of the boat and in no time, we were at the Roadhouse Jerk.



The owner was pleased to see us but not as pleased as we were to get more Jamaican food!

Man, it we good!

George had the Oxtails...



...and I had the Curry Chicken.



The sides were rice and peas plus fried plantains.

While I am not a big fan of curry (because it's usually overpowering), this dish was perfection!

Another highly successful outing on all accords!

Oh...I did get 3 more of his Jamaican patties to bring home. The last ones I had were outstanding!
