Last week I went to Camana bay on a field trip with my school and some other schools to watch the shark talk with Guy Harvey himself. It was a great experience to see and learn so much about sharks that around the Cayman Islands. There are so many sharks and so many things about them that we didn’t know. Sharks are actually pretty cool animals, they all have something that makes them unique like. My favorite of all the sharks is the white tip because they just live alone in the deep blue and just kind of stick to them self’s, white tips are pretty smart animals but since they live in the deep blue ocean they not used to seeing certain things so they might get confused and eat garbage and other stuff like that. Mrs. Guy Harvey showed us videos of the white tips being itself in the deep water they also showed us a video of how they eat and videos of his guys catching and tagging them, He even showed us a video of them catching a marlin and 2 chunks getting taken out of it by a white tip shark, the shark had taken to big chunks out of the marlin (wouldn’t want that to be you ). It was a great too see all the videos and all the positive comments everyone had.

So this Sunday me and my mom and uncle and cousins decided to take a trip to rum point for the day. We got up early Sunday morning and helped my uncle clean the boat and then went and got gas for the boat. After that my mom went to the supermarket and bought some food to carry with us on our trip to rum point. At about 12:30 he went and launched the boat by duck pond launching ramp, then right after launching the boat we parked the truck and headed out to rum point. We were supposed to go straight to rum point but we ended up making a stop by sting ray city and the coral gardens. After playing with the sting rays for a little while we then headed over to coral gardens to do a little snorkeling. While we were snorkeling we saw a huge variety of fish I even started to wish I had my sling lol  , my cousin devonte spotted a huge thatch wood barracuda about 15lb. It was one of the biggest barracudas I’ve seen out there yet. So after a good snorkeling trip and swimming with the sting rays we went to rum point to get some food. We all ate our food and had I tired ride coming back in.

I remember the first time I got my bike I had it running for about 3 days after the third day it started running funny. The next day I went to ride and I didn’t even make it out of my yard before my bike shut out and wouldn’t start back, I waited till the next to go and start working on it, when I went to open up the engine I realized that the carburetor was loose and was almost falling off. I cleaned the carburetor and tightened it and the bike started with one kick, but after it started it still felt like it was lagging so I checked everything, I checked the magneto the coil and the spark plug everything I checked had looked right but it was still lagging, so for a next 25 minutes I just looked around and still couldn’t find out why it was lagging. I just couldn’t figure out what the problem was so I just left it alone and came back to check it out again a couple hours later. I looked around at the engine again and still couldn’t figure out what it was making the bike lag, but something came to my head and just told me check the spark plug coil. I reached down to touch the coil and it was very slack so it wasn’t pushing enough electricity through the bike and I looked at the plug and it was dirty so I cleaned the plug and tightened the coil and the bike started and stopped lagging.

How to shoot a fish with a spear First of all you need a nice spear and sling with some strong rubbers on it and a nice grip so it doesn’t slip when you pull it. You need to find a nice spot out in the water somewhere where the water is not murky so you can see the fish, and a spot where the waves are low so you can see if the DOE are coming. The best spot to go is like out by the reef or any big rocks in the water because that’s where you’ll find the fish. All you have to do is swim with your spear in hand ready to shoot any fish you see. Once you see the fish you want you just dive down to the fish and try not to frighten them. Once you can get a clean shot take it. After you shoot the fish you have to swim to the fish quickly and grab it before it gets off the spear. Then you take him off the spear and put him on the line.

So this weekend I went fishing with my friend Daniel and his three cousins. We went fishing out by the key out by barker’s beach. We woke up at about 5:00 am that morning and headed out to launch the boat. We reached out by the key at about 5:45 am, once we reached we began fishing and had caught couple fish before we decided to go to a next spot. When we got there we immediately started catching fish. Caught about 10 fish by the time daylight started breaking then the fish started to stop biting at that spot, we decided to take ah a big chance and try to catch some fish in a marine park not too far from rum point. We reached the marine like around 9:30 and as we threw our lines in the water the fish started biting. We caught all kinds of fish, snapper s, groupers, hog fish and several other types. I told Daniel to tell his cousin we should move and go to a next spot, as we were almost half way to our next spot I heard the engine starting to make a funny noise, so I told them to let’s just go in to shore. Before I could even finish talking the engine shut out, we were out the stranded with one phone that was dead :(

The mutton snapper is the fish I have never shot yet. So one day I was very close to getting a shot on one. One Wednesday in June I went out spearing by west bay public beach, I was out swimming for about forty five minutes and I had already shot couples fish. I dove to the bottom to pick up a conch when I look the right and saw a mutton snapper it was about 8.lbs. I resurfaced to get more air and dove back down again. The snapper was not shy so I managed to get close enough to take a shot, I was extremely excited so I swam calmly behind the snapper. I got in the right position to take the shot and as I pulled the rod back in my sling to shot my first snapper the damn sling popped. I was angry I just left my spear sling and everything else and swam back to the shore.
