My kid left FPI around 9:30-10 am. At just after 1, they were pulling into Rosie’s. Slick and fast crossing 👍. I’m a little jealous, have not been over since early 80’s. By 3, they were unloaded and going to catch bugs for dinner. I will report back as I hear.

Great place, good tuna fishing. Place was hammered by a hurricane a few years ago, glad to see its coming back. Still sell turtle, but I couldn't bring myself to try it.
Club med!
Hope the boys have a great time! Living the dream...

Brief report today. A few lobster,2 hogfish, 1 big trigger and a strawberry. Rounded out with with several flag yellowtail. Dinner and Breakfast for tomorrow caught before 11:00 am. They left the yellowtail in a frenzy, Just trying to feed 7. They were playing with the sharks and tarpon on the dock a few minutes ago. Having a freaking blast. Captain hired a local for tomorrow, going to try to concentrate on the crawfish. Kinda tough to concentrate with so many options.

When I am in the Bahamas I focus on conch. I can get Crawfish here. Steamed conch,Stewed conch, Scorched conch, conch salad, conch fritter, conch chowder and of course sucking down the pistle. I forgot to add that the conch slop makes excellent bait for Muttons.

Can't remember what area in the islands. Read an article a couple of years ago about a conch farm operation.

Communication has been limited ( that’s a good thing) . Who wants to be bothered in paradise? They got their lobster and conch yesterday. Radio silence tonight, they are packing up for a early departure. Hopefully it won’t be too bumpy, that storm is getting close enough that it may make for a long day. I’ll get some of his pics when they get home.

I've been boating over to the Marshharbor hopetown area for 30 years and the population decrease in that area has been dramatic.

Around the major population areas I am sure there has been a decline from 30 years ago but they are still plentiful enough in the south even though they may have declined also. Nothing stays the same when there is a market for a resource.
