Hi Steve n Phil,

I drove up there on the 21st not knowing a thing about the lay day. Can't imagine how stupid I felt.
At least I got the shirt.........Wish I could've gone back on Sunday to see some prize catch.

One of myTobago's recommended local fishermen too

Region 3 - Upper Caribbean
Most of the Castara posse will take you out to The Sisters but make sure you have your sea legs - it gets pretty hairy out there, but the tuna fishing can be awesome.

Eldon Rusty Lewis: A very knowledgeable and amiable freelance fisherman.
Michael: Works for Woodies and King David. Very friendly, good fun and knowledgeable.
Owen Anaconda Cox: A freelance fisherman who also works for Alibaba and Woody’s, out of Castara and Plymouth. He is one of the few who have a good grasp of fishing with rod and line.

This acolade is hotly contested and the competition is intense, so I'd like to add my congratulations as well.
