My little "Island" in this "World" Vol. 5...

[Capt_John]

Mine is only submersible to 10 feet according to the camera instructions, so I'm just gonna use it in shallow situations. The company is getting a new HD camera with an underwater housing that we can use. I'll take that one deeper.

We cut the needlefish fillets in small pieces and fried them up. The meat was kind of dense, but alright tasting. I wouldn't go catch them just for food with all the other options we have here, but the meat was ok. Chef Rich fried the carcass just to see the mouth opend up. He likes frying fish carcasses as a garnish when plating fresh fish dishes.

I will be happy to do a tutorial of conch cleaning. However, the easiest way to get them out of the shell other than knocking shells is to just put the conch on ice overnight or at least 12 hours and it kills them. You can just pull them out of the shell. But here's some pics of us cleaning conch and knocking shells.

Christie told me he saw you. You'll have to anchor outside, but you can bring a dinghy ashore. Just call security first. Or call me.

Had an interesting week as of late. Haven't had many clients, but the fishing has been really good inshore. The bonefishing has been just awesome. The club hired a new fly fishing guide a few days ago so Peter and I decided to show him around. He's fished for bones all over the world and this was the best he's ever seen. We found steady schools of 500 - 1,000 fish. Yes....I said 500 - 1,000 fish. We caught fish the whole day on fly. We had at least 10 triple headers as the day went on and we only fished for 3 hours. We could constantly pick at the school as long as the cudas and sharks weren't around chasing them. Today we had a client come in from Provo last minute wanting to go shallow reef fishing. We caught some nice Mutton Snapper and margates. it was a good past few days, but this dang heat is killing me. Gotta run errands on Provo tomorrow, but as soon as we get back, I'm gonna get back out on the water. I took a video of one of the schools of bonefish since I have friends who don't believe me. The cudas and sharks started chasing them so I had a free chance to take a short video. excuse the language at the beginning.

I like the camera fine. I haven't had any problems so far. I'm sure there are better ones out there. But since the company supplied this one, I'm not complaining. I think it's a nice camera for the money and it's very compact. i carry it in my shirt pocket and forget it's there.
