as a child we (parents/cousins/uncles) used to fish off the bauxite pier in Ochie and then the cruise ship dock when it was built. we would start out with small crabs or snails as bait to catch small fish then use the small fish as bait to catch bigger fish.

In Negril we caught those long fish with the pointy nose/snout (they fried up good) but we never had much luck with the good ones like Jack or snapper
