LOTS OF SHARKS, BUT BIG ASSS TUNA!!
Bring a BIG gun,LOTS of floats and spare gear.

Be careful there, I wouldnt get in the water at that place without a spotter !!

BTW, which boat are you taking down there???
Good luck.

im doing one of the long range fishing trips on the Royal Star, and the skipper and i are on good terms (Tim Ekstrom), so we might take a couple hours one day and hop in with the guns.


im pretty familiar with the aquatic life down there, i was just wondering if anyone had shot down there yet.

the only way i know of, aside from chartering your own yacht, is one of the long range fishing outfits. but they wont let you shoot down there. there is only a SLIM chance ill get to but only because the skipper and i are friends.
