16 SEA FISH OF TRINIDAD 
On leaving this bank get out your trolling tackle, for 
between “ Gran’ Tante’’ and L’Islet at the entrance of Huevos 
Bay you are certain to feel Tarpon if on the feed. There is 
also a spot in the rocks here, which if you ground bait with 
small pieces of “zagaya’’ (small crabs), and then fish with 
“ligne voyante’’, you can catch the good edible fish called 
“lippé” or “l’epais.”’ 
3. Monos (Monkey) is separated from the mainland of 
Trinidad (Chaguaramas) by the first, or Monos Boca. This 
island is possibly the favourite sea-bathing resort for the 
residents of Port of Spain and country districts, having on it 
eight residences, to wit, Domus, Balmoral, Morrison (Port 
Office), Protheroe’s, Copper-Hole, Grand Fond, Pampel- 
lonne’s, and Kenny’s. There are innumerable banks round 
the island that used to afford good sport, but I have noticed 
for the past five years they have deteriorated greatly both in 
the size and quantity of the fish obtainable; so I shall confine 
myself to mentioning the few from which I have obtained 
fair results within the last three years, starting from Kenny’s 
Bay and going west round by the Second Boca and return- 
ing by the First. 
“Kenny's Point,’ the southeastern cape of Monos. 
The bank is about two hundred yards out and west of the 
Point, and about fifty yards west of the ‘‘basse”’ or reef that 
runs out there, at an acute angle with Kenny’s house. A 
mixed bank, vivanot, salmon, walliacke, and small grouper. 
To be fished from half rising tide to full. 
Bank Green, almost at right angles with Copper Hole 
Point. The best mark, is to open the bathing houses of 
Protheroe’s and Kenny’s. A very deep falling tide bank. 
There are big fish here, but plenty of bait and patience are 
required, as the bottom is full of small fry who are at the 
hooks immediately they arrive. 
There are three banks, Fimmy, Coco, and Pointe Courante, 
before you reach the point of that name, the southwestern 
corner of Monos, and the turning point into the Second Boca, 
but they are of little use, and you will have a far better 
chance of sport trolling from Domus corner round Pointe 
Courante and down the Second Boca as far as Pointe & Dia-
