Re: Fishermen on bridge

[bag up bri]

Iv'e bought wind up torches as advised ( 3.99 from Wilkinsons they also do a smaller pump version for 2.99 ) and i would like to give these to the local fisherman. This is where i start to get confused, are the handline fishermen on the bridge locals ? Because i was led to believe that people who don't work at the hotels or have business there aren't allowed on the cayos,and that these fishermen were hotel workers between shifts.
Also do all the workers travel back to Moron or do the hotels provide accomadation?

hi bri
its a mixed lot who fish the bridge, locals and resort workers the resort worker are better dressed i gave my wind up torches to the workers who i know will not sell them you will soon find out who are workers and who are not.

the dancers are the only workers who are near the hotel not the workers they are bussed in everyday regards

Thanks Waggerlad both for the reply and the advice on the torches,but i'm still confused i'm sure i'll figure out whos who and i would rather the things i give be used for them and theirs rather than sold.
But are the locals from Moron or do they actually live on the Cayos

Sup Bri? Fished the bridge for 3yrs. There an old fella with a machete thats always there, he or most of the others aren't strictly meant to be there. Sometimes they get moved on. Its not the best spot for fishing tho and you can get hassled for tackle. I try and fish it once every year coz I like the old guy and he appreciates any items of tackle he gets.He knows the spot inside out too,worth taking his advice.

Hi fellow fruit worker i think i'd give the guy with the machete my tackle
too especially if he was waving it!!!! But are they from Moron or do they live on the cayos?

[waggerlad]

hi bri
there is no workers or old waving machete waving gentlemen living on the cayos. they come from all over the place to fish mark is right they do get moved on the old bloke is a god send he fished the pier with me this may and had bog basic tackle but he put right on the nose of a fantastic snapper of about 10lb it fought like a tiger but he got it in he was fishing with his son they had walked for miles to fish the night before so i gave him 5 pecos for the bus home i thought he was going to hug me to death.
i also gave him line,hooks ect but the thing he went mad for was the cable from inside the telephone line the small wires red,blue,green ect i was using for fish attraction near the hooks he loved it. fished twice more with him and taking loads of big hooks for him and a hook sharpener i also gave him stainless steel hook as they do not rot and you can sharpen them to death regards

:) Thanks Waggerlad i've only been to the cayos once and i thought i'd got the cuban thing and bored everyone s***less with it when i got back,but the more i read i'm begining to realise i didn't know squat!
Can't wait to go back though and discover more,sorry about all the questions but do you speak spanish and was it peso's you gave the old
guy or cuc i hope i bump into him.

Ta bri.

[waggerlad]

hi bri
it was cuc pesos and no i dont speak spanish, but i dont need to my rod in my hand is good enough just show the local lads kindness and give them a few bits of gear and a drink i alway take food fruit, ect from the buffet or the cans from the fridge they sharp get the idea.
im taking 100lb line with me to give one of the lads who i fished with in may he uses it to fish a handline and 3 pairs of rigger gloves so he can pull it with crazy sod.
the gardeners at the resort love the cheap gloves at pondland took a few pair on the last few trip we got a few people to give us there beer from the fridge and sat in the hut and got the gardeners merry lol.

Muchas gracias

Thats one of my six sayings,probably four when i,m rat arssed ,last time i used it with a rod in my hand was under a bridge to a dozen mexicans with handlines,they did'nt understand me and i didn't understand them i blanked but they didn't i think they felt sorry for me so they fed me beer and burritoes.Il'l make sure i take the food/beer sounds great with the gardeners.

Ta bri.

[waggerlad]

hi bri
they understand you when you have a face that will frighten a police dog full of tattoos and a look that will curdle beer lol and that is when im sober.
but in truth i think its the welsh tart mark,who frightens them with his sling back wellies and his red fishnets and black frilly bodice and that daft look he always has on his face he is welsh you know boyo and he rides a daft jap bike think its a 500 something poof machine.
ive tried to convert him to a beamer but he is sticking his stilletos in regards

Hi again

It's a shame wer'e going to miss Mark as he'l be keeping my seat warm for the journey home, he sounds just up my street. Although i stopped wearing slingback wellies years ago, size fourteens cost a bomb and they only last a few months when your'e over twenty stones.By the way you obviously haven't tried getting 100lb line in landlocked s,yorks,and don't mention the internet our lass is getting sick of parcels arriving.The last lot was white tube lures and i'm up to about 12kilos already,still iv'e bought a couple of nice rods to leave maybee one to the old guy?would he use it or are they stuck on the handlines?

Regards bri.

[waggerlad]

hi bri
na the old guy will love the rod as for the white tubes my tube work as good and cost a fraction.
use 60lb wire crimp on a large swivel thread it through earth outer cable attach another swivel with a split ring and a large treble hook the cuda off the rocks at the sol cayo coco loved them 2 year ago. regards

Two decent barracuda caught in cancun last nov,went out in boat at the back of me paid far to much to hire it privately(got ripped off)just desperate to catch something before returning to veg city! Sea was rough came back in past marker bouys and got chased by coastguard,when we finally got back to Marina if you could call it that ,got accused of nicking fishremans joint! Cuban fishing sounds a breeze.
