Reef fishing with Captain Ben

Dave and I signed up for reef fishing with Captain Ben.  We went out by boat to the other side of the reef.  Our bait was small pieces of fish.  Our fishing gear consisted of line wrapped around rubber spools that we let out until the bait reached the bottom.  I caught a milky trevally and red throated emperor fish.  Captain Ben caught four fish including a coral trout which was the largest fish caught and one that he said is rare to catch.  After I got back I gave them to the Chef who prepared them for lunch the next day.


Lunch, prepared by the restaurant chef, entailed the two specially caught fish, served in a garlic butter sauce, green salad, and French fries.  After enjoying this special lunch (we thought the trevally fish was the best), we cleaned every morsel off the bones to enjoy later.
