Fishing from Monday 13 to 24 of January with Iain Green, Lucy Linney and Steeve

Monday, 13 Jan 2014

Our 1st day fishing, we headed south and put our monster lures specifically for Marlins as we were in the peak season for these species. We ended finally the day with what we wanted, a Blue Marlin of 350 pounds, caught by both anglers Iain and Steeve.

From Iain Green, Lucy Linney and Steeve

It was so much fun. Ludovic was so friendly. The trip was top organized from start untill the end. It was so nice and this fishing trip in Mauritius we will never forget. Many greetings from Germany Matthias & Silvia

I had some good fun out fishing with Ludovic for a half day in Baclava. He caught 5 fish I think in toal and I caught 2 small rock snapper. The conditions were not good for Kayak fishing, which the captain warned me about the day before, it was very windy and we could not go out to deeper water. Still there were bites but the shallow water means you can easily lose your lures and hooks on the coral and rocks which can be frustrating. Would definitely go again, one tip is do not forget to put your valuables away, you may easily capsize and break your phone like I did!!

Great crew. Knowledgable. Very friendly. All round an excellent choice

My Girlfriend and I have a amazing day, did not want it to end. Would highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys fishing, especially something a bit different.  A must if you are visiting Mauritius
