Fishing in Bimini

[ArmyChief]

I'm going to be scheduling my fishing trips around the OUTGOING TIDE... That's when it's best to troll the steep drop off.

I'm in...unless I already caught MORE than enough

Dang...you seem SERIOUS about your fishing..I'm below a novice

Rum is $12 a bottle. There is no need for beer!

It is way bigger than our boats. 30 feet plus.

So one should bring mixers for rum

Rum is always available by the case. Mixers are harder to find so we will bring them with us. Prepared members bring blenders. Really prepared members bring margarita makers.

BRING BEER it is the best thing to tip with, the locals prefer beer over alcohol. Beer to them is a treat since in Bimini a case of beer is about $50. I typically bring a couple of extra 12 packs of Bud light to tip with.

Where do you tip at? I tipped at the fuel docks, the one resteraunt meal we had and the room cleaners.

Fuel dock, dock master, and whomever else might deserve a tip, for the folks diving maybe the diver master. For a meal or a general purchase I give a normal monetary tip.

Yea..yea....I read your post on the margarita maker...just don't want a rechargeable version. Probably bring my magic bullet and inverter..its what we always use

Bud light?.... They even accept that crap over there as a tip?

It has never been rejected, everyone that has gotten some has been very happy, so who am I to question.

It's a 31ft Trophy with twin Mercury 225's.

What about vodka, tequila? Is it cheap and available or just rum?

Where you find the outrigger pole holders?? And details about the seat please.

 

[kthrash]

My new Penn rod and reels! I have another spinning rod on the way.

I fabricated the seat setup. I bought the seat bare, a shorter post, a receptacle for the post, and a swivel, and the rod cup.

The outrigger holders were custom and plenty expensive.
