    Gringo - thanks for the info and pics. I visited there 3 years ago. I was there for 5 days and didn't want to leave. I didn't have the chance to fish on that trip. We did take a snorkeling/sailing/booze cruise on one of those cats. Great island hope to visit again someday.....

    I didn't take this one. I got it emailed to me this morning from Silver Deep. They are one of the other fishing charter companies here. We know them, of course, this is a small country. I can tell you it was taken at Turtle Cove Marina here in Provo. And of course y'all will recognize the fish:

    Here's some more, taken mid winter this year on Salt Cay;

    This is the old government center on Salt Cay, from back in the days when the island was being used to produce salt. The salt was shipped to the Northeastern US and Canada, where it was used to preserve cod fish.


    This is one of our best friends here, Preacher, who was showing us around Salt Cay. He is NOT afraid of the cow. In fact we saw a hilarious video of him and another friend chasing a cow they bought to butcher all over the island, through ruins, fields, houses....the cow got away.


    The old main drag on Salt Cay. The Bermudan merchants owned houses on the left side, with docks just next to the houses. The salt pens, or salinas, are on the right. They would let the tides flood the pens, and use windmill driven pumps to move the increasinly salty brine from one pen to another until eventually it dried out completely and was all sea salt. This was scooped up and shipped North.


    A relaxing area between Windmills Plantation and the beach. Fantastic place to stay if you really want to get away from it all and just relax. No kids. The fences around the walkways are to keep cows and goats from wandering into your room and eating the flowers and your books.

    How deep is the water where they pull grouper like the one pictured out of?

    Perfect size!

    We see grouper that size out near the reef all the time. Water depths less than 50 ft.

    W e really sucked at fishing the first year we were here. Oh, we caught a few grouper and some Mutton Snapper, but that was pretty much it. Then we started talking to people and taking advice. The second year we started adding rainbow dolphin, yellowfin tuna, and wahoo to the freezer. We also like Cerro Mackerel a lot. We catch tons of barracuda, which we give to local friends who love the stuff. But our staple seafood here is conch.

    we can get conch any time we can get out in the boat. We cook it fried, sauteed, in fritters, and our favorite is conch chili over texmati rice. Ummmboy...good stuff.

    Gringo...nice shots to say the very least. Brings back memories for sure.
    Say hello to Mr dean and especially his older brother Algie Dean. Turtle cove was home for quite a few summers. Interesting place. Is it still overrun with Dominicans and/or Haitians? Seemed like kind of a dangerous place to move to me years ago. The authorities seemed more money oriented than justice, imagine that...sound like the US sometimes too I guess. Parrot cay was always nice too.
    Gota go, thanks again for the quality pics. Is Jeff (or geoff(??)) still there @ turtle cove, think he had a Hatteras there for years.

    p.s...be carefull dem conch look pretty tick lipped to me man.
    Is there a better "food" anywhere?
