East Coast REEF FISH and THE HORNY RAM

banana no that is the worst luck to bring on a fishing boat why because when sailors used to ship bushels of bananas across the ocean the Brazilian wandering spiders would hide in those bushels and cross the ocean with the sailors and then whoever came into contact with those Bushell at the other side the spiders would bite them and they would die in the poison so don't bring [ __ ] bananas on the boat but you can have it now no I don't even want banana in my system so you're no banana man no I am not who's the banana man I'm a banana man no I don't want a banana right now my name is Adam Maro and I've been a fisherman for over 25 years in that time I've seen some pretty incredible things happen on the water oh oh my God got it oh my god dad look Dad look did you see that for me fishing is not just a sport it's my purpose so now I've decided that it's time I share my life passion with all of you follow me around the island of Barbados as we catch clean and cook the amazing fish found in these Waters this is the opening Series of on the line today we're making the run to the east coast of the island where life is much Wilder compared to the calm seas and tourist beaches on the west the East is rugged mountainous and it's pretty much always windy there's a ton of shallow reefs drop offs and underwater Pinnacles that hold big fish and big sharks today we're fishing with jigs and live bait off an underwater ledge that's teeming with reef fish manifesting baby all right so so we just saw a dive boat here I want to see if these guys know there's any grouper on the boat so that hotel they're building right now that's called sandl Lord's castle it was a historic site still is a historic site in Barbados they used a lot of the old parts of the castle as foundation for what they built around so there's not a lot of resorts on the Southeast coast because not great Beach a lot of waves rough water not a lot of good swimming but they got a beautiful beach there that they sort of carved out so I'm excited to see the finished product and the one to the left that's the crane Crane's a hotel residence Resort it's like its own little village in there it's own little Community it's nice spot great for Boogie boarding body surfing stuff like that I don't like swimming on this Coast cuz there's jellyfish there's a lot of jellyfish around here so we're jigging off the Southeast coast today right off Sam Lord's castle dro the 150 Johnny jigs hooked up to something the water is so blue today when it's blue like this fish always tend to buy better they can see better at the bottom got good current she get some good fish today let's see what this one is it's fighting like a jack for sure it's got good head shakes you always hope it's something like a mutton snapper or a better table fish but you can't control what what you get whoa Yellow Jack oh and he's foul hooked they always fight hard when they're foul hooked wow look at that beautiful color change
