Last week we took a day off from the farm and enjoyed a day on the ocean. We traveled about 2 hours down the coast trolling. It was a beautiful day, not too hot and not too windy. Arthur’s cousin Zakaria and two of his sons, Budha and Jimmy, joined us. And of course Bruno goes everywhere I go.
The fish were not really biting very well. Zakaria was the only one that caught a fish but it was a good size and was delicious for dinner. It was really interesting to watch Arthur and Zakaria fish. There were no fancy reels, just 120 lb test weight line wrapped around a bottle or pipe. Arthur has a couple of lures that “pop” along on the surface which they tried out. They wrap the line around their back and sit back and wait for a strike, then they pulled in the line by hand. Pictures don’t really do it justice so I’ve uploaded a couple of videos to youtube. This is something new for me so I hope it works.
