Exploring Treasure Beach

Local's playing dominoes at the South Pole (store/bar/hang out)
This game was hillarious to watch - each time a player played a domino they would slam the domino on the table making all the other domino's jump and sometimes flip over... it was a fast moving game!

These are the lobster and fish traps they built. This one is brand new - and was dropped in the sea the next day to soak for a week before they would check it again fish and lobster.


While walking the beach - a local fishing boat returned with a haul of fish.
Villagers crowded around the truck to see the catch and select a few fish to take home with them.
I am holding a Parrot Fish.

This young man was hand line fishing for Tarpon from the beach... his bait was dangling from the end of his line. He said they catch Tarpon just off shore - it would have been cool to see him pull one in!

*~ quite a variety here ~*


Grouper - the largest fish in their haul that day
(we had grouper for dinner one night - it was absolutely delicious... and by far our favorite fish we tried while in Jamaica)
