[Dr. Jekyll - AKA MeL B]

short version calm seas almost no swells limits on lings and rocks. the whities and especially sheepies didn't cooperate overall it was a trip of a lifetime at least for me myself and my ego.

Looks like all of those bags are in the rear of the boat.  After you catch a fish, does the crew take the fish back and place it in your bag?

[Dr. Jekyll - AKA MeL B]
