Mautiyak Game Fishing 

We went for big game fishing, the captain took us in the deep sea and we caught a tuna and bonito. the day was amazing with a lot of sun. would definitely recommend this trip to all the other fisherman...

The weather has not been great and Cappie stayed in regular contact as ti which day would most likely be best. All communications were excellent and we met as arranged at the time and place. We departed and returned on schedule. The vessel is comfortable and as described. We caught 2 Dorado’s and also had the obligatory BIG one that got away. We never saw it but it took a good strong run and then broke the hook. Balaclava is a lovely and quiet enclave to start and end the trip. A great day indeed, even if we did bounce for an hour or two.

Fishing in Mauritius is not what it was like 10 years ago. Different people have different opinions on why. Bottomline is that going on two eight hour trips trawling for game fish in Mauritius within a week without even a strike seems not to be unusual. Various Chinese trawlers were seen operating Mauritian waters and one wonders if that is not perhaps a contributing reason. Someone with the necessary knowledge and expertise needs to look into this if fishing is to remain one of Mauritius’s holiday destinations.

Boat a little small. Perhaps also some snacks would have been nice. Fishing was great. They do everything for the catch.

Such a special 3 hours. Thank you.

The trip was divided between trolling and jigging according to our wishes. We made 2 yellow tunas and 3 bonitos when trolling then 9 other fishes with the jiggs. Great expérience!

Friday, 24 Jan Down to south side again for the big bites, and the big bite came, but finally hooked off after 2mins fight. Back home empty handed. Final comments: Outstanding fishing Brilliant crew Worth every minute. From Iain Green, Lucy Linney and Steeve

Although we had a tough day on the water with only two fish caught, I would happily go out again with Capt. Ludovic and his crew member Ken. They covered a lot of water and were constantly changing lures in an effort to entice fish. We also tried jigging in certain areas but with little success. But that's fishing, no guarantees, but still a good day. What has been extra top class is the service and follow up by fishingbooker.com. great communication and follow up. I will definitely use these guys again!!
