An unforgettable day on the water! Today, my client and I landed an incredible marlin on the Rosario. Rosario is the Papiamentu name for this traditional trolling handline. Papiamentu is the language we speak here on the island of Bonaire, and “Rosario” means “rosary” in English because the line is loaded with heavy lead balls that resemble a string of rosary beads. The weight of the lead keeps the line below the surface while trolling, allowing the bait to swim naturally at the right depth. The Rosario is normally used to target wahoo and other pelagic species such as yellowfin tuna, but today a Marlin smashed the bait instead. After an intense fight, we successfully brought the fish to the boat. Moments like these are what make fishing so special you never know what will hit next.We caught also some blackfin tuna early in the morning. Join me for an unforgettable adventure with a local. Fish with a Local, as a Local. ?

The sea was rough and windy , but that didn’t stop us. We started the day trolling and picked up some small blackfin tuna. Dropped them straight into the tuna tubes and switched things up live bait in the water. That’s when it got interesting. We hooked into two solid wahoo this one being the biggest of the day,it weighed 38 pounds. Clean hits, fast runs… exactly what you want. Slowed it down after with some bottom fishing and added a nice snapper to the box. And to top it off the sunrise trip already delivered six blackfin tuna before all of this. Strong wind, rough conditions… but still a successful day on the water.
