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.

Hi there,
I was there for the tournament and the winner of the local boats was Owen 'Anaconda' Cox! My congratulations! Castara visiters should know him.
Cheers

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.
