Bahama's fishing

[turbinedoctor]

I am taking my family to the Bahama's over spring break and planning a half day fishing trip. Hope to catch a couple but what I don't know. Will post pictures of what we catch or what we see others catch and just say we caught them. ;D

[charlie_the_tuna]

san salvador.
wahoo.








WAAHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Airslot]

Dang Turbo, now thats a vacation. Have a good time, and before Hammer gets here, let me just ask for plenty of pics. There ought to be some good talent over there ;D

[turbinedoctor]

Planning on plenty of pictures. ;D

[parishht]

Have a great trip.

Nothing like a family fishing trip,
if the kids catch fish, it doesn't matter if dad catches any.

[turbinedoctor]

Mama and daugther dont want to fish but my son does. Paris your right if my son catches the only fish it will still be worth it.

[reelapeelin]

Planning on plenty of pictures. ;D



ZOOM lens... 8) ...

[turbinedoctor]

Well we made it back home in one piece but it was hard adjusting to 50 deg whether from 80 deg. Went on one fishing trip and I caught a barracuda (about 14") the others on the boat caught a 20" barracuda and a dolphin. ???

Have pictures on digital camera but not with me now. >:(Took my fish to a local restruant and had it cooked. That was my first taste of barracuda and it was very good even if they are claimed to be posionous. That was the most expensive fish dinner I have ever had ($220.00). :-/

Dont think Momma didn't let me know it to. ;)

Will post pics soon.

The stay in the bahamas was great. Two snorkling trips, countless trips to the beaches, warms wheather and a free bottle of rum in the freezer at the condo. It dont get any better then that. 8)

[Airslot]

Welcome back Turbo, glad the family had a great vacation. Now, lets see if we can get your a flattie dinner for under 2 bills ;D

[Blue_Runner]

Very cool Turbo. Sounds like fun. I've always heard cuda was pretty tasty aside from the poison lol. I suppose the smaller fish would have less chance of having the deadly poison but just guessing.

[parishht]

So, did your son catch any?

[Stinky_Hooker]

Awesome! Good for you!

I havent fished there, but I have dove there & I can tell you there are PLENTY of fish. 8)

[shore-power]

Glad you got out on the water while you were down there D-Man. I know you were HAPPY to get out on the water while you were there so if mama comments on the cost of the fish dinner again ask her what price she puts on her husband being happy doing something HE likes to do? ;)

[turbinedoctor]

Yeah it was great, but my son didnt get to reel one in since he was sleeping while I reeled mine in. At $110 I hope he enjoyed that nap.


The smaller one are not supose to be poison since they arent as old.

[turbinedoctor]

OK Here are some pictures from our trip.

Leaving port.

Back to the condo for some rest and relax. I think the people before us left some rum in the freezer.

Deez is curly tailed lizzards. Fast too, kids tried many times but never even came close to catching one.

[turbinedoctor]

[turbinedoctor]

Went by this boat on the way out. Who needs a runabout, well take the chopper.

Now Chum, I was a good boy on this trip. Had Mama and the kids in tow every day. Beside there werent that many good looking any way.

[turbinedoctor]

The cudda is mine. Hard to beleive that kid got a blister reeling in that dophin.

http://www.wellcraftv20.com/gallery/albums/album151/Spring_Break_2007_122.sized.jpg

This cudda aint mine.

http://www.wellcraftv20.com/gallery/albums/album151/Spring_Break_2007_123.sized.jpg

It's not about the fish, it's about the time together.

http://www.wellcraftv20.com/gallery/albums/album151/Spring_Break_2007_124.sized.jpg

[chumbucket]

http://www.wellcraftv20.com/gallery/albums/album151/Spring_Break_2007_130.sized.jpg


Did anybody notice anything formiliar yet.

[chumbucket]

I'll take the phins please. I've heard that cuda is nasty! ??? :-X

[chumbucket]

Familiar as in the hat? ;)

[turbinedoctor]

While waiting for lunch to be cooked us guys went walking and got a braid.

[turbinedoctor]

I was wondering if you would notice.

The guy that owns the yatch with the chopper offed to swap the yatch for the hat, but I turned him down. They make yatchs everyday but these hats are hard to come by. ;D

[turbinedoctor]

That cudda was very tasty even if the say it can be poisinous.

http://www.wellcraftv20.com/gallery/albums/album151/Spring_Break_2007_137.sized.jpg

La Med restruant. Great place to eat. Cooked the fish for free. We ordered other entrees as well.

http://www.wellcraftv20.com/gallery/albums/album151/Spring_Break_2007_139.sized.jpg

[chumbucket]

Wise man. ;)

[turbinedoctor]

Fresh shucked Conch.

[turbinedoctor]

National flower. Hibiscus

Took lots of pics with the underwater disposable cameras. Waiting to get them developed.

[turbinedoctor]

Later that evening we found another beach and broke out the snorkles again. It pays to buy your own snorkle and mask before you go.

Pretty cool find.

[turbinedoctor]

Well thats all the pics I have to share for now.

It was hard to get back to work after a trip like that. :'(

[parishht]

Great family vacation, enjoy it while you can.

[Airslot]

Looks like a great trip Turbo, thanks for sharing. Hey, can you believe it, thats like 40 pics and not a single visit from the Hammer, the ungrateful pic ho ;D

[msbhammer]

I'm here now. Guess I need to check this section out more. Figured I'd leave this one section alone to give you guys some peace and quiet from me.
Turbo, Them's be some great pix that you took. Family looks like they had a blast. *;D ;D *;)

So....you bring back anything...a tee shirt maybe ;D

[turbinedoctor]

I brought a tee shirt, bottle of Myers rum, Kula, Baileys irish creame and a van load of happy people.

When asked who would do it again I got thumbs up all the way around.

[turbinedoctor]

We are getting the disposable underwater cameras developed and put on to a disc, When I get my hands on them I will post some of them.

I know you guys like pictures but I think I would crash the site if I posted all of them. We dont want that again. :(

[msbhammer]

No, I couldnt handle becoming a newbie all over again. ;D

[turbinedoctor]

I'm just about back to GOD and would hate to start over again.

[charlie_the_tuna]

yeah well, as soon as i hit god again, maco will crank it up to 2000.

[turbinedoctor]

Hey CTT, do me a favor then and stop posting till I get to 2000 ;D ;D

[charlie_the_tuna]

dont worry, if we ever get some less than sh!tty weather up here, i'll be working on the boat.

[turbinedoctor]

That weather is almost here now, should be to you soon.

[randlemanboater]

Wow TD, looks like you guys had a great time on your trip, good weather as well.

Nice braids too.

[phatdaddy]

if i got braids, they'd have to staple'em to my head.
i've always heard "smaller than your arm, it'll do you no harm"
we've always eaten cuda, real good if fresh. did ja notice the smell when you first caught them, very distinctive. *

Didn't notice any smell, other then fresh air.

Cuda is very tastie, my wife does like like much fish but she like the cuda.

The braid is like a tradition to me now, been twice and got braided both times. ;D

[turbinedoctor]

Wow TD, looks like you guys had a great time on your trip, good weather as well.

Nice braids too.

We were just talking at supper today and eveyone was ready to pack up and go back today. The weather was......... lets just say I dont think it could have gotten any better. ;D

[turbinedoctor]

I think we need to start another section called "Vacations". Everyone can post pics and talk about there vacations, makes it easier to look up places you might want to go sometime.




What do you say Mr. Menstaulator ;D

[shore-power]

Maybe you all could start a section on hair braiding, and nail polishing, etc.. LMAO ::)
Damm D-man, putting braids on you is like hanging a crystal chandalier in a friggin barn... ::) ::) Your lucky I wasnt here at work when you came in with your braid. Oh the fun I would have had....
