It’s June, and in Antigua that
means the sportfishing crowd
starts dreaming about hooking
the big ones during the 45th
Annual Antigua and Barbuda
Sportfishing Tournament, to be
held from Friday, 10 June to
Monday, 12 June, 2011.
Over the last few
years, the tournament has
attracted many international
participants as well as local
enthusiasts, averaging about
12 non-Antiguan boats per
tournament. “We have so far
had commitments that boats
will be coming from
Guadeloupe, St. Barths, St.
Thomas, St. Lucia and new for
this year Barbados” says Philip
Shoul, chairman of the event.
This year the organizers
are giving fishermen from
around the Caribbean even
more reason to travel to
Antigua with the addition of a
one-day Marlin Classic
Tournament, to be held on
Monday, 12 June. “The addition
of a third day now makes the
investment of motoring to
Antigua more worth it,” Should
explained. “The winner takes all
pot also appeals to the more
competitive crews both
locally and internationally.”
The entrance fee is
US$1,000, and the person
accumulating the
highest number of
points wins 80 percent of the
total fees paid.
Another new feature
of this year’s tournament is the
Second Hand Fishing Gear
Flea Market, to be held Friday
afternoon from 4:00-7:00 p.m.
at the Dockyard. Visiting and
local fishermen are invited to
bring their used gear and tackle
to sell to other fishing enthusiasts.
The Sport Fishing
Tournament is also a big event
for non-fishermen as crowds
gather to watch the weigh-ins,
view the large fish being
brought in, purchase fresh
seafood, and enjoy the party
atmosphere and entertainment
in Nelson’s Dockyard during the
first two days of fishing. The
entertainment starts and the
food stalls and fish market open
at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday and
Sunday. The boats return and
the weigh-ins run from 4:30 to
6:30 p.m. on both days. The
awards presentation and closing
party will take place starting
at 8:00 p.m. on Sunday.
Another highlight of the
weekend is the raffle for a
Yamaha Crypton Scooter valued
at $6,500. Tickets will be on sale
during the days of the tournament,
with the final draw taking
place on Monday, 12 June at the
end of the Marlin Tournament.
Official gear for the
tournament is now available at
the Ondeck Store in English
Harbour, Photo Fantasy in
Nelson’s Dockyard, Aquasports
Heritage Quay and Aquasports
Jolly Harbour. Items can be

Digicel Pearls ODI--West Indies v. India
Dates: Saturday, 11 June and Monday, 13 June
Time: 9:00 a.m.
Venue: Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium
Tickets: EC$10-75, free entry for those under 16 and
born before 24 June 1950
Antiguans and Barbudans will have a
chance to see the ICC World Cup winning
India team in action against the West Indies
team when two Digicel Pearls ODIs are played
here on 11 and 13 June at Sir Vivian Richards
Cricket Stadium.
To encourage young and old alike to take
part, the West Indies Cricket Board is offering
free entry to those under 16 years of age
and those born before 24 June 1950, which
is the date of the first West Indies win in
England. The complimentary tickets
must be picked up at the stadium or
WICB ticket office prior to the matches.
These two ODIs are part of a fivematch
series sponsored by Digicel
that is touring the Caribbean. The
first and second matches will start
in Trinidad on 6 and 8 June, then
the teams will stop here to
Antigua before the final match in
Jamaica on 16 June.
The West Indies squad for
the 1st and 2nd ODIs has been
announced, and includes Darren
Sammy, Dwayne Bravo, Carlton
Baugh, Devendra Bishoo, Darren
Bravo, Kirk Edwards, Anthony
Martin, Kieron Pollard, Ravi Rampaul,
Andre Russell, Marlon Samuels,
Ramnaresh Sarwan and Lendl
Simmons. Announcement about the
squad for the later matches will be forthcoming.
The matches begin at 9:00 a.m. each
day. Tickets are EC$20 for the North
Stand, $30 for the South Stand,
$10 for the Grounds, and $75 for
the Party Stand, and can be purchased
at the WICB Ticket Office
on Old Parham Road or at the stadium.

I awake in the morning
long before dawn and
after only a few fitful hours of
sleep. The still air is cool and
I put my jacket on even
before I leave the house. As I
load my pickup I notice the
palm leaves are not moving
and a flutter of nervous
excitement makes me smile.
It's going to be a calm day
out there.
The crew is early
and eager to leave the dock
bound for the "bank," a sea
mount far off shore. Sea
mounts typically are areas
far from land where underwater
hills or as the name
suggests, mountains come
almost to the surface. This
one comes up to about 280
feet below sea level and like
many others, it supports a
huge variety of biomass.
Everything from plankton
and tiny microscopic fish to
large predators aggregate
around sea mounts. Today,
the first day of one of
Antigua’s main fishing tournaments,
we are after one of
the top predators--Makaira
Nigricans, the scientific
name of the Atlantic Blue
Marlin.
We've only entered
the Marlin Division of this
tournament, so that is all we
are looking for. Although the
International Union for
Conservation of Nature
(IUCN) doesn't consider marlin
to be a threatened species,
many sport fishermen think
that because of the commercial
fishing industry's pressures
on the blue marlin, the
species needs careful attention.
Our tournament is mostly
a catch-and-release tournament
and has strict guidelines
as to what fish
you can bring back to the
scales.
In years past many
of the marlin we would catch
and release would have stainless
steel long line hooks in
their mouths, which broke off
from Taiwanese gear set off
shore. Then in late 2004, the
Taiwanese fleet of commercial
long liners that was stationed
in St. Martin decided to
move out of the Eastern
Caribbean. We have thankfully
seen a small increase in the
number of marlin since then,
but there are still a great
many being caught by
Guadeloupe commercial fishermen
nearby.
Anyway, on this day
we will release all marlin
after taking a photo of the
catch so that we get points.
Fish over 300 lbs. can be
brought back to the scales to
try for the largest fish prize.
All releases get 300 points
towards the prize for most
points. In recent years there
have been many studies with
scientists attaching satellite
tagging equipment to
released marlin to see the
survival rates and surprisingly
the results have shown
that almost all blue marlin
recover well once released
quickly after bringing them
alongside.
The first bits of colour
start to show on the horizon
as we arrive at the bank just
before dawn. Lines go over
into the water at 5:30 a.m. and
we are early, just as I like to be
in tournaments. It gives us
time to check all of our gear
and set up the rods and baits
properly before "lines in.”
Noddies and terns are
squawking as they feed in
flocks just above the skipjacks
and black fin tuna. These
small tuna are
what marlin love to eat and we
know they must be around.
At 6 a.m. the lines
ON THE SEA 13
have been in the water thirty
minutes and the sun is
already bright above the horizon.
We are ready for a fight!
Hours pass without a bite as
we troll around the sea mount,
but the crew sits patiently,
waiting and searching the
"spread" of lures behind the
boat. The little tuna jump and
splash under the birds as they
chase tiny minnows to the surface.
We're in the
middle of a very active food
chain.
"MARLIN", screams
Big John as he spots a large
dorsal fin behind our #2 lure.
A second later rod #3 comes
alive with a deathly scream of
its ratchet as line starts vanishing
in a flash. Our trained
crew spring into action retrieving
all the other lines and getting
the fighter "suited" up in
harness and belt. The marlin
jumps several times while
peeling off a thousand feet of
monofilament line as if the 26
lbs. of drag on the reel was
nothing. Our first mate, John,
happily shouts "and there she
is… the blue marlin with all
her glory".
Eli Fuller is a lifelong resident
of Antigua and owner of
Adventure Antigua boat
tours.
Blue skies, warm breezes and lots of sea life makes
sport fishing in Antigua and Barbuda a delightful, and
sometimes adventure-packed, sport—especially when
blue marlin are involved.

NIGHTS OUT
Change—sometimes it’s a good
thing, sometimes not. But in the restaurant
business, most of the time customers welcome
a change in the form of a new menu,
because it gives them new tastes to sample.
Bay House Restaurant,
that beautiful setting overlooking
the sea at Dickenson Bay, has
recently introduced a new Deck
Menu that has a number of significant
additions which are sure
to intrigue anyone looking for a
change. During the month of
June, the restaurant is offering a
little added incentive to stop by and see the
new menu—a complimentary drink with
any meal purchased.
The build-up to Carnival features
a lot of fetes, most of them geared toward
young revelers who like the loud pounding
music and excess. But what about older
folks who love to have a good “wine” but not
a lot of the crazy going-ons, who enjoy
music they can dance to and want an
upscale event where they can feel comfortable
and lime with friends?
Now they have the WINE Fete,
dubbed “The Ultimate Wine and Dance
Experience,” to be held on 11 June at the
President’s Suite at the Sir Vivian Richards
Cricket Stadium. Featured entertainment
is the Laviscount Brass, a band known for
its straight up and eminently danceable
music. Dance Commander for the evening
is well-known Observer Radio personality
Serpent, who has extensive knowledge of
Calypso and Soca as well as a personality
that gets everyone moving.
According to organizer Dotsie
Isaac Gellizeau, the idea came out of her
sister D. Gisele Isaac’s 50th birthday party,
The breezy Bay House Restaurant now offers a new Deck Menu
in addition to great views over Dickenson Bay.
While they have
kept some of the
favorite entrees,
starters and salads,
they have added several
new categories of choices. These
include home-made deep dish savoury
pies and jacket (or baked) potatoes filled
with a variety of toppings. Among the

where everyone was having a great time
and asking “why can’t we have a fete like
this for Carnival?” So the group of friends
got together and made it happen, with the
help of sponsors such as C&C Wine

Cool & Smooth; Chivas Regal, Absolut
Vodka, Camus Cognac and English
Harbour Rum; Caribbean Union Bank;

toes can be topped with the more wellknown
toppings such as chili, sour cream
or garlic and herb butter, or the more original
coleslaw and cheddar cheese or chicken
sautéed with bell pepper, cabbage and
onion.
In addition, they have expanded
their sandwich selection by offering a bread
choice of either ciabbata loaf or paninis,
which are lightly grilled on a special
panini press. On the light
side, there is a wide selection of
wraps, including a luscious lob-
ster and pineapple in a creamy
dressing. Their burger menu is
also a tempting, with traditional
beef, chicken, Philly steak, fish or
veggie options.
The Deck Menu is available
from lunch to 10:30 p.m. In addition,
Bay House offers their regular fine dining
ala carte menu for dinner.
Willie D Enterprises. Other contributors to
the event are Finance and Development
Co. Ltd, Flo’s Perfumes, First Caribbean
Bank and PIC Insurance.
This fete is truly all-inclusive, with
a sumptuous spread of food and sweets as
well as wine bar from C&C Wine House,
specializing in South African wines. Tickets
are EC$125 per person, and can be purchased
at the Digicel main office in Royal
Palm Plaza, C&C Wine House, or
Evolution. The organizers are encouraging
people to purchase tickets early, since the
capacity of the venue is only 550 people.

historic sites such as
Nelson’s Dockyard, Shirley

Betty’s Hope. Unlike most
tours, however, they also take
people into Parham, a
charming village that was the
first capital of the island.
There they have their own
restaurant where travelers
are treated to lunch before a
visit to the St. Peter’s
Cathedral, built in 1840 using
timbers from a slave galley.
The trip is not complete
without a stop at a
beach for some sea and

Bay, depending on which
side of the island the tour

the journey winds back
through the rainforest and
returns guests to their original
boarding point.
The day tour starts
at 9:00 a.m. and is completed
by about 3:30 p.m., with
pickups at the hotels for visitors,
and at the
Multipurpose Cultural
Centre for local residents.
This tour length allows for a
leisurely drive with stops at
major vantage points for
photos as well as time to
stroll around the historic
sites and lunch. Cost for the
tour is US$95, and a lower
rate for local residents is
available.
