Background: Grandson of a professional fisherman, fishing is in my blood. First of all, it is my passion and I've been fishing professionally for more than 20 years. I will be pleased to share my knowledge with you.
Techniques: Whenever possible I like to do a bit of livebaiting along the dropoff in the morning and lure trolling to cover more ground afterwards.However,there are some times of the year when live bait is scarce and we only do lure trolling

Another Marlin

Mar 21, 2024 Le Morne

Having caught a few big skipjack tunas,a yellowfin tuna and a blue marlin a few days earlier,Mr JP got lucky again.After a late start reports of boats that went out earlier was not good with not much activity.We decided to troll very close to the dropoff but it was very calm,no birds around. Just as we decided to change area we were pleased to hear the short rigger reel start screaming.It took our customer about 30 minutes to get the average sized blue marlin on the boat.

Yellowfin tuna and blue marlin

Mar 18, 2024 Le Morne

On a calm sea we spotted a pod of dolphins on the hunt and on our first round we had a strike on the shot gun lure.Our regular guest got on the fighting chair for his morning workout.It took about 20 minutes to get the 85lbs tuna onboard.We kept working the area but the activity calmed down.We trolled to a different area and were rewarded with a blue marlin.

Blue and black marlin,yellowfin tuna,ski

Mar 14, 2024 Le Morne

Our regular guest Mr Tim got to fight an estimated 400lbs black marlin,a dorado and 10 wahoo on the first trip.After a slow morning ,activity wise, we found the hungry fishes on our way back in.On the second trip we caught a big skipjack and used it as live bait with no success.Third trip we had an early fight with a 500lbs blue marlin that took the long rigger lure and ended the trip with a small skipjack and a 60lbs yellowfin tuna just before lines out.

Big yellowfin tuna and dorado

Mar 1, 2024 Le Morne

Caught a 125 lbs yellowfin tuna on the way out and as the wind started to pick up we were lucky enough to add a dorado to the day's catch.Our customer's found the tuna too strong to fight and Jerome had to do some of the reeling.

150 lbs yellowfin tuna and skipjacks

Feb 25, 2024 Le Morne

On a cloudy morning we went out looking for the schools of yellowfin but they were not yet feeding. We caught a couple of skipjacks and did some live baiting. The sharks moved in after about an hour and we were left with only half of a skipjack. We went on to troll the lures again and found some schools and caught some more skipjacks. Around 12:30 we spotted a school of big yellowfin that was feeding aggressively on the surface and at our first round in that school we caught an estimated 150 lbs pound fish.

125 lbs blue marlin

Feb 11, 2024 Le Morne

We went out with a group of first timers. We found a pod of very active dolphins and we decided to work the area.We were rewarded with a blue marlin and later caught 2 skipjacks before heading in earlier than scheduled because some of our customers were seasick

Big Marlin and Tuna aboard the Billfish

I recently had the trip of a lifetime fishing aboard the Billfish with Billy and Jerome. We caught a big blue marlin followed by a tuna and then hooked and lost another big Marlin. My wife and I really enjoyed fishing with Billy and Jerome and were very comfortable on the Billfish. I was really impressed by the guys and cannot recommend them enough, you couldn’t ask for better guys to fish with. They are incredibly good fisherman and know how to locate and catch the big ones. You will... More
