What I did on my "spring break..." (DU warning!)
Kev & I went on our 2nd annual Bahamas trip, with some very good friends, incl. Matt (aka "The Cleaner") from GHI Reptiles. Matty is a MOST excellent fishing guide (and chef!) & really made the trip a blast for everyone who went.
Sunset the first evening:

Bull shark hitting bait (no hooks, just fish carcass, wire & a rope):

To keep it real, one of the herps on the trip - a Bahamian curlytail lizard:

Re: What I did on my "spring break..." (DU warning!)

Re: What I did on my "spring break..." (DU warning!)
I LOVE SHARKS!! It looks like you all had a great time.....kinda puts me in the mood to go somewhere tropical ;)
Re: What I did on my "spring break..." (DU warning!)
Daniel - you would have loved the acrobatic bull shark...if you look @ the pic of the nurse shark, that squiggly white thing in the water is a slab of bacon that we threw in as bait. A bull shark hit that bacon like a Mack truck, came up out of the water (think "Air Jaws"), rolled a complete 360°, and dove back in.
It was AWESOME!!!! Discovery Channel's got nothin' on a bull shark hyped up on bacon!!! :D :D :D!!!!!!

P.S. If you want the contact info for the place where we stay, just drop me a line! ;) ;)

Ohhhh Kev looks more fried than the bacon....ouch! Looks like a wonderful vacation and I want Matt's recipe for that fish, it looked yummmmmmmm! Glad you had a wonderful time before what I can only imagine is a crazy busy time with hatchings and new baby snakes to tend.
