So really, how's the bone fishing?

Try in front of RumRunners 😀

redeyesadie-they feed the BIGGEST tarpon nightly outside of Rumrunners restaurant on St. Croix, so it is an attraction to walk by on the boardwalk and see them all there. At least 15-20. That's what he's talkin' 'bout.

I am not an avid fisher, just rod & reel casting off the piers or beach every so often. I caught a bonefish using squid as bait from the Molasses Pier on St. Croix about a month ago. The old salty conch fishermen seemed surprised that it came up with squid. It's interesting to see the locals fish with just a piece of line with a hook on the end, but it works. Saw two dolphin swimming there, too. That was the first time I saw them by St. Croix.

Where is the Molasses Pier?

If you are heading toward F'Sted from Sunny Aisle on Melvin Evans, there is a sign on the left that says "Pier". You have to take the left and follow it around all the containers along the fence, through the bush, to the very end of the drive. This is a local spot for fishing/putting boats in the water where I have only been to at night. I only go with my bf that is built like a linebacker, so I guess I am saying, if you go down there, be careful. I don't know what the operations are like there in the day, to make it not okay/too industrial to fish. It is the Krause Lagoon area. The spot looks like where they stashed all the boats from the first Jaws movie, like there are two dilapidated tug boats that sit up on the land that I swear are the "Orca."

More info/cut n paste:
The Gordon A. Finch Molasses Pier, located in Krause Lagoon, sits on an eight-acre site on the south shore of St. Croix. It provides docking space for cable vessels, cable storage, molasses and aggregate vessels. The facility consists of a roll-on/roll-off ramp, two separate breasting dolphins for berthing bulk-type vessels and space for bulk cargo storage.

The facility is equipped with asphalt and molasses pipelines that extend from the dock to storage tanks. It is also equipped with a 560-foot by 70-foot concrete lighted working apron and a 560-foot sheet pile bulkhead with breasting dolphins on both ends. It can accommodate large vessels with drafts up to 29 feet.

This multi-purpose facility is primarily used to import molasses by tanker vessels to the Virgin Islands Rum Industries Limited distillery. It is also used for the importation of all liquid asphalt to the island, bulk cargo such as gravel, cement blocks and other construction material critical to St. Croix's construction industry. The pier can also accommodate submarine cable vessels, which are used to lay and repair intercontinental underwater telephone cables.

VIPA is currently designing plans to shift all cargo operations from the Gallows Bay Marine Facility in Christiansted, St. Croix to the Molasses Pier.

Thanks.

jewelry, turn south at the Hovensa training center building/light. Just before the road cuts sharp to the left, turn right........Be safe!

What about around STT?

Thanks

The only places I have heard of bone fishing is Mary's Creek on St John and on Anegada.
