[devocean]

Were there any spearos on that boat? Also I have heard that the swains has a pretty bad cigatera problem especially with trout were you guys warned off taking them?

[mariner_22]

Kleiny the spaniards were all taken on floaters with ganged pillies. But I think one guy got one on a ballon he put out the back of the boat. Lot of guys including myself hooked up with spaniards while bottom bashing but lost them at the boat (no wire) .

Devocean there were no spearfisherman on the boat and we were not warned off eating the trout. I asked the skipper about that and he reckons that for the area only the real big trout are a risk of cidetura along with the usual suspects like the chinaman's and the barracuda that we caught, which were all released.
