When: Feb. 2004
Where: Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands
Why were we there: Installing state of the art swimming pool equipment for two
new swimming pools for a property on Neal Bay, Virgin Gorda for SCOTT Swimming pools of Woodbury, CT
Duration: 3.5 weeks
Fishing info: I fished almost every night after eating dinner and putting the wife and kids to bed. Hooked over
125 tarpon, landed only 6. Most were hooked on live mullet. Mullet were caught via cast net in and around
boats in the main harbor. Mullet were then transported to town dock/pier in my kitchen tall plastic garbage
can. Spooled in 15 seconds 3 times. Almost spooled more than 10 times.
Special thanks to my wife, and Jim Scott for the opportunity of a lifetime and the marina night guards who put
up with my fishing antics night after night.
P.S. Never fish alone late at night without a digital camera with a timer. They would have only been
unbelievable fish tales.
