Sep 4, 2025 Le Morne
We were out for a 4hrs morning trip. We had to go a bit far from the coast to find the fish and time was a bit limited. After 1and a half hour drive we were on the spot where we caught some skipjacks the day before. We saw a school of fish from far away. We swap lures as we knew it was a school of doradoes...but no bit. We then tried with pieces of bonito....a dorado was on...then another one. We caught both. On the way back while taking the lines in we hooked a barracuda and caught it too. Few minutes later we were in the lagoon taking some pictures of the catch

We were out for a full day trip. 30mins after putting the lines out we arrived on a FAD. There were sone birds feeding around....good sign. We tried different approach but not bite. We moved further out and caught a dorado. We nearly caught a second dorado but the hook went off few minutes behind the boat. As the wind was blowing more and more we decided to move to a calmer area to fish.... an hour later nothing....2 hours later no sign of fish...we then moved back to the zone we were ealier...going more south. It was windy... we hook 4 more good size doradoes and caught them all. We were back with 5 nice fishes

We started at 7a.m and went directly to the area we saw some activities the days before. We saw some birds flying around but no school. We went further out saw some schools of fish but as we arrived the fish already dived down. One or two hours later we found a serious school of doradoes. We hooked 2 had a good fight and caught both. Later on we approached a FAD saw some activity changed technique and soon a dorado was on. We caught it after having a nice fight on the 50 pounds line. We were back in the lagoon at 3p.m
