For the future there are alot of different laws and protected areas on various islands so you have to look before you book or atleast before you go of course, you may not be allowed to fish from shore at all or only in certain areas.
But a few fish (any size), sunrises, scenery like that .... to use an old phrase... PRICELESS :-)
P.S. Not sure if you are interested in fly fishing but here's a cheap travel rod, a bit light but still fun. Freshwater fly lines and rod/reels work in salt but you need to rinse them well after using.

We only landed a couple of small fish, not sure of the species, they were sort of a bluish tinge, blue tang maybe?
I've never actually tried fly fishing before, mostly just reel but thanks for sharing - Ill be better prepared for next time!

It was kind of last minute and a bit of prep and some research before hand can make a big difference. I was reading more and found out that there are lots of different kinds you can catch from shore there, by the Holiday Inn the one woman caught a 3 1/2' reef shark from shore so it seems there are opportunities for some fun.
What you caught did it look sort of like this? Jacks are very common, put up a good fight and hit almost anything.

You can try this if you remember and have a bit of time.

I didn't know how serious or if you fly fished at all so i suggested just the cheaper basic travel one. I saw a March Brown rod on Kijiji near my area, a very good rod but never cheap .. and I already have 2 travel fly rods (1 being a March Brown) and can't figure out how to justify another. :-)
