I was down in Negril last Thanksgiving.

I'm sorry to say that the shore fishing sucks, as the surf is fairly shallow and there isn't much structure.

There are some small little chits around but that's it from the beach.

There are a lot of fish in the nearby reefs (right off of Hedonism III) that dot some of the smaller islands. Mostly smaller stuff - like ballyhoo. The bigger wrasses get shot at by the local spearfishermen who strip the reefs bare of all the fish and even the spiny lobsters.

If you plan to go offshore on a boat (which is an option...there are marlin charters) bring a medium heavy conventional and troll some 3 oz kastmasters (fluoro!!!!), you'll at least hook up with some small false albacore or barracuda like we did last year.

If ha have a snorkel outfit, bring one if you don't want to rent one.

We're ya staying? Sandals or Beaches or Hedonism? Beaches, and we'll do the charter thing. Thanks!
