点评:The booking and boat……
Just returned from Antigua where I had booked 2 seperate day charges with Nick. The booking process is easy with Nick personally getting back to me.
I had actually fished with Nick 10yrs previous where we went float tubing in the mangroves.
In the years since Nick has acquired a new boat - the Tarponator. The boat got us to the many spots Nick chose both quickly and efficiently. in getting to a few areas we encountered some what would be describe as lumpy water to which the boat (obviously aided by the captain) traversed safely and comfortably
The fishing …… It was quite simply excellent -10/10 off the scale.
I hooked up on over 20 tarpon of which I reckon I played a dozen and getting half a dozen to hand. Incredible stuff with fish in the 20-40 lb range - tho last a larger one when the hooked pulled after a lengthy scrap.
At one station Nick spotted a small shoal of 5 or 6 Permit plus the odd larger solitary ones. A lighter rod had already been set up which we put into use immediately - using crab impression flies lost one and finally for me after many years trying gone one in the boat - amazing !
The Captain…. Nick has clearly built up tremendous knowledge of the area as we fished new areas on the second outing - his fish spotting is superb as is his handling of the boat.
Although I would consider my casting as pretty competent Nicks assistance to improve your casting is brilliant. His form of words to get the physics of the cast into your mind I found really
helpful.
Truly fantastic experience

翻译:预订和船……
刚从安提瓜回来,我和尼克在那里预订了两天的独立钓鱼。预订过程很简单,尼克会亲自回复我。
我十年前就和尼克一起钓过鱼,当时我们在红树林里玩了漂流。
这些年来,尼克买了一艘新船——Tarponator。这艘船把我们快速高效地送到了尼克选择的许多钓鱼地点。在到达几个区域时,我们遇到了一些可以形容为波涛汹涌的水域,但船(显然是在船长的帮助下)安全舒适地穿过了水域。
钓鱼……简直太棒了——满分10分。
我钓到了20多条大海鲢,我估计我钓到了12条,现在手上只剩下6条了。这些鱼的重量在20到40磅之间,真是令人难以置信——不过最后钓到一条更大的鱼,是它经过长时间的搏斗后被钩住的。在一个钓鱼点,尼克发现了一小群五六条许可证鱼,还有一些零星的大鱼。我们准备好了一根更轻的鱼竿,立即就用上了——用螃蟹印象蝇钓法钓丢了一条,而我,在尝试了多年的船上终于钓到了一条——太棒了!
船长……尼克在我们第二次出海钓鱼时,显然对这片区域有了非常深入的了解——他的鱼情观察能力和船技都一流。
虽然我认为我的抛竿技术已经相当熟练,但尼克在改进抛竿方面的指导非常出色。他用一种能够让你理解抛竿物理原理的语言,我觉得真的很有帮助。
真是一次非常棒的经历
