The owner of our resort treated us to two free tickets for a half day of fishing. I’ve never really even been fishing before, so I was excited to give it a try. We were out for about 4 hours with maybe 20 other folks. You select your spot on the boat and tie your poll up while we venture out into the ocean. Once the anchor drops, everyone drops their line.
The first couple spots we didn’t have too much luck. Jason caught one and I didn’t catch anything, but our last stop of the day we had amazing luck. We ended up with eight keepers and threw a couple back. The poles had two hooks and I caught two fish at once! It was a little chaotic to take pictures as we were fishing – too much going on at once. I caught four in a row – all I had to was drop my line and right away I’d catch something. One of the crew comes over and take the fish off the hook for you and it gives it your groups unique marking – for example ours was three on the throat.
Back on the dock they sort out all the fish, based on the marks.
Here’s our bounty…
We had them filleted, where plenty of pelicans were ready for the scraps.
Then we took our fish to a restaurant near the dock, where a French chef cooked a delicious meal from our own catch.
A very unique and memorable experience for Valentines Day with my hubby.
