Bottom fishing trip today on Flipper Ii saw barry landing this cracking Bull Pargo. Put up a big fight but came to the boat nicely.

Another great day out bottom fishing. Quickly got into some live baits and set up the rods. We waited a good hour for the first bite but what a good bite it was. The tope took a total of 12 hard runs before we got it to the boat. Much more action followed with bites from sharks and good Pargo.

Bonito for Andre Dinner in the Bag

Andre fished with us earlier in the week and after missing a good shot from a Wahoo came back to try again. His main aim was to try and catch not a Wahoo but any member of the tuna family. He was thrilled to land this Bonito especially considering the time of year. We are very lucky at the moment to have still very good water temperatures and lots of bait in the water as this means that the predatory fish are still here to be caught.
