Ghosts in the Caribbean

We finally settled in, got over jet lag with lots of rest. We now have been out two straight days looking for and chasing Permit; we have seen 20 in two days and have been able to cast to three. Needless to say, they are very hard to catch. However, I must say chasing fish is only one part of  the fun getting to the fishing flats is an adventure within itself. We combed the flats, landed on an island  with lots of friendly inguanas, and negotiated the channels in the mangroves that will rival the jungle ride at Disneyland.

The flats


After the flats we headed to have lunch at Iguana island. The island sit out in the middle of Ascension Bay, full of palm trees with coconuts and white sandy beaches straight from a Corona beer commercial. 

Iguana island. Note the table and chairs in the shade.

As we landed on the island, the iguanas amazingly ran to greet us just as a dog would do.

Note the iguanas on the ground and trees and near the boat.
