Thanks to Hilsford Vidal (R) and Tony Roudette (L) for providing us with an ongoing abundance of memorable sea and
fishing experiences. Their friendship while introducing us to Dominica, sharing their fishing insights and taking us "out there" is a continuing privilege.
"...out there!" The term always used, with a hint
of reverence & mystery, by Tony & Hilsford when
speaking of fishing beyond 10 miles from shore.
...1
day's, 3 Blue Marlin catch --- 175-250 lbs. range
An asterisk of appreciation as well, to the several local fishermen from the villages of Salisbury and Coulibistrie who keep their boats and nets on nearby Batalie Beach. Their willingness to get to know us while observing, sometimes participating in their daily fishing and beach rituals is an enriching experience... from lugging full nets and boats ashore, sorting and cleaning fish to
just hanging out and conversation. -2008
