Since Christmas I have been doing a little fishing here in Grand Cayman. It started out with the new rod and reel that my wife's parents got me for Christmas. I soon found out that fishing here was going to be a lot different than anywhere else I have even fished.
First of all it is almost impossible to fish on the bottom due to all the coral. It catches a hold of your sinker and hook and snags every time.
I snapped my first pole when I got a snag. Yep, snapped it right in half. I was so stunned that I hardly noticed the shards of wood and fiberglass that got lodged into my hand.
Fishing with a bobber is almost useless because of the waves and low visibility.
There are certain spots that the fish bite and you might as well forget about catching anything anywhere else.
At any rate I persevered and finally caught an exceedingly small fish the locals call a "grunt". I was quite proud to have caught it until I learned that it was the absolute lowest of the low of fish. I will continue my endevors though because that's what REAL fishermen do. Wish me luck. If you want to see the pictures of my grunt please check out my Facebook account.

Good luck and stuff. Maybe you should try deep sea fishing.
