Tuna Time

Full day big game fishing. Today with friends from the UK we set out at 9am. Beautiful day flat calm sea and lovely sunshine. We trolled our favourite lures all morning until just before slack tide with no bites. Knowing it was low tide we prepared for another slow hour but we got a shock when the right ahort exploded into action. Line screaming from the reel. Up quickly and harnessed i to the chair i got the lines i. As quickly as possible. During this time the marlin exploded on the surface with some incredible acrobatics. A good strong fish took over 3/4 of the line on the soool. Then it was time to reel it in. The fight lasted an hour and 20mins this fish just kept on running. But eventually came to the boat calm bit still with good colour and stong. Quick photo then released safely. Fiah swam away strong. Hapoy angler got his first billfish. Happy days.

Not long into this mornings trip and this beautiful white marlin came nyo the soread and smashed the mousetrap. Very well played by the angler and brought nicely to the boat. Quick photo then safely released.

Perfect weather lovely sunshine and some fantastic fish. Steves landed three great mahi mahi already today.
