点评:I booked 3 days with Nick on this trip. He has invested in a new 4 stroke o/b since my last visit and it really pushes his boat through the water. The weather was not too kind to us and Nick covered a fair bit of ground to find suitable spots each day. Day 1 we started looking for bonefish and saw very few but blind casting I hooked one but was too slow on releasing the line and it broke me. Later in the day Nick placed me in with a shot for tarpon and I landed 2 with a good bit of sport. Day 2 I struggled - we stalked a couple of good snook but they just kept out or range and the day ended with just a few small snappers and jack. Day 3 back for snook and no sign of them in yesterdays spot but then Nick found another spot and I landed 2 lovely fish after very spirited fights - my first snook! Nick then found a couple of spots with tarpon but I each time I failed set the hook in any of them. Near the end of the day Nick found a nice quiet spot and the weather settled briefly. Nick spotted a couple of bonefish cruising close to the shore and set me up for a cast. And off it went with 3 long runs before it settled near the boat. A lovely fish. Nick spotted a large permit passing very close to the boat but I couldn't get a cast at it. Then the weather broke and the heavens opened. Nick was very attentive and gave me plenty of advice on casting and playing fish. I already look forward to my next trip to Antigua - and getting that permit.
翻译:这次旅行我跟尼克预定了三天。自从我上次来之后,他新添置了一台四冲程舷外机,动力十足,船在水面上飞驰。天气不太好,尼克每天都要跑很远的路才能找到合适的钓点。第一天我们开始寻找海鲢,但只看到几条。我盲抛的时候钓到了一条,可惜放线太慢,鱼线断了。当天晚些时候,尼克带我去钓大海鲢,我钓到了两条,过程很刺激。第二天不太顺利——我们跟踪了几条不错的海鲈,但它们总是游出我们的攻击范围,最后只钓到了几条小鲷鱼和鲹鱼。第三天我们又去钓海鲈,昨天的钓点没有它们的踪迹,不过尼克找到了另一个地方,经过一番激烈的搏斗,我钓到了两条漂亮的海鲈——这是我的第一条海鲈!之后尼克又找到了几个有大海鲢的地方,但我每次都没能成功扬竿。临近傍晚,尼克找到了一处僻静的好地方,天气也短暂地放晴了。他发现几条骨鱼在近岸游弋,便帮我做好抛竿的准备。鱼儿猛地一窜,游了三趟才停在船边。真是条漂亮的鱼!尼克又发现一条大帕米特鱼从船边游过,但我没能抛竿。这时,天公不作美,下起了瓢泼大雨。尼克非常细心,给了我很多关于抛竿和遛鱼的建议。我已经开始期待下次去安提瓜岛了——希望能钓到那条帕米特鱼。
