We took out our friends from New Zealand this morning and despite the bait fisjing being a little slow we managed a different soecies with every hook up. I soon lost count of the amount of different fish we were catching. We decided for the last hour of the trip to pull a few lures and troll. Within 10 mins we had a large shoal of mahi following the boat and we managed to land 2 out of the 4 strikes. The guys even managed a quick swim. Fish all filleted off our friends have gone away yo enjoy a nice bbq

Slow start to the fiahing as we didnt have much tide. Lots of little bite and a couole of amall fish. As the trip went on and the tide ataryed to move we saw plenty of bbq size snappers, trigger fish and amberjack. We also saw bream and garoupers. A good bag of fish for our anglers and even enough for the captains dinner. Delicious and a fun trip
