Finally

For decades I have looked forward to visiting beautiful Duncan's in Trelawny where you not only find one of Jamaicans most delightful white sands beaches but also, good fishing at the nearby reef.

It was always so wonderful to catch my butter fish and others of similar size, which when fried crisp, are absolutely delicious. 

For really I don't enjoy eating meaty fish.

Caught me two barracudas.😁

Then my brother and his cronies started trolling and bringing in huge fish.

I couldn't believe the sizes of these creatures.

With eyes popping out with jealously as they graduated from 1/2 pounders to 10 pounders, I joined them.

Everyone likes to catch big fisherman but only the fisherman can take them off the hook.

Twice I joined in the trek to bring in the big ones, but can you imagine my grief and frustration when on both occasions I returned empty handed? 😞.

Last year July was when that latest tragedy occured, so for the past year I have thought of little else besides how to bruk mi ducks.

July 2024 was when I struck gold finally, moving from quarter and half pounders to a seven and three pounder! 

And the one that got away was probably a 50 pounder 🤣.

No problem, everything deserves even one break.

4 caught, 2 by Joan😊.

Hurray.

Finally made it to big league.

Total happiness.

We are all winners.
