Does anyone know Where it was caught? who was the capt go the boat?

It was Alfred's boat that went out but i 'm not sure if Alfred captained or not.

It was Alfred's boat that went out but i 'm not sure if Alfred captained or not.

when I had checked into fishing after first joining the forum, everyone told me not to waste my time and money. judging by the comments this doesn't seem to a regular occurrence to catch fish like this. I would be interested in learning more about the trip. Was this an 8 hour trip that took some time to get out of the immediate waters around the island that have been overfished? I'm totally down for an 8 hour trip but if this is a anomaly rather than a regularity, maybe I'll just stick to the sand gravity... thanks in advance for any other information

I'd be interested too. Great catch!

stacko66,

I have fished off Negril (Rod & Reel) on several occasions many years ago. Best result was two 5 lb Bonita's. Marlin Fishing in Jamaica is generally done over Ocho Rios way where the water is really deep. They used to have a yearly tournament with some world class fishing boats. Not sure if it was a private gig or if there were charter opportunities. Treasure Beach is another area where big fish are caught mostly kingfish, wahoo, dolphin, tuna and occasionally billfish. San Pedro Banks, deep water. Ask for Capt Talla you can contact him through Kory South at Sunset Resort & Villas.
