I think wreckfish and scombrops live way the hell down there. I hope you have a well charged battery.

islandrunner5280 · 10-09-2006, 08:57 PM

I kind of thought those would be out there but really wasn't sure thanks for the response boboe. are scombrops good eating?

Boboe · 10-09-2006, 09:30 PM

Everybody says that they are. I've never sampled them.

islandrunner5280 · 10-10-2006, 05:30 PM

well i hope to go out Saturday and get one or something at least if the weather is good.

mmmmmm, scrombrod, yummmmy.

I have caught them in much less than 2000', have made several drops in the Bahamas 2000' + but never actually brought anything up

caught pomfrets too in about 1000-15oo'

islandrunner5280 · 10-15-2006, 02:32 PM

islandshark633 · 10-15-2006, 02:36 PM

the little scrombrod was in about 800 ft off SW reef Nassau, several others have been caught there

the oilfish came from way south in Conception isl at about 600 ft, no reports of them caught near Nassau. good to eat if you can make it past the scales...

islandrunner5280 · 10-15-2006, 02:42 PM
