    Fishing from the beach

    Anyone ever fish from the beach? I'm coming down with two buddies who are bringing small collapsable fishing poles. Trying to talk them out of it, but they insist

    I've seen people with nets but they only seem to catch the tiny fish near the shore. I'd think that it would be better off the cliffs somewhere JMHO

    Usually some mackerel (sp?) ~ on a good morning, about 8-10 ~~ uses cut-up shrimp with a slip-bobber on 14 lb. test.

    I've fished from the beach a few times but mostly on the cliffs. Did very well this year off the shore at Negril Escape. Get a pack of frozen uncooked shrimp from the HiLo. Use a medium sized hook, tie a knot in the line about a foot up and put a couple pea sized split shot behind the knot. Cut the shrimp in 1/3's stick it on the hook. Carry out a plastic chair, till the water reaches the seat. Fire the shrimp out as far as you can. Sit down, lite ur spliff and wait. Good thing to bring is one of those little plastic tackle boxes to hold hooks and split shot, one of those little tools with pliers and a knife and **** in it. Carry the shrimp in a ziplock bag.
