Fresh Fishing Reports from Mauritius

450 pounds Black Marlin caught

September 21, 2023

We started at 7 a.m. after some trolling we had a strike on the central rigger line. It was a wahoo...but the hook did not get the fish. We continued our way to deeper waters. We could see lots of birds but no fish activity at the surface. After some hours the short rigger line was singing...the hook was not set ...then the central rigger elastic broke...fish was on. We brought all the other lines in and the fight started. After a good fight a 450pounds black marlin was in.

Afterwards we hooked 2 tuna the first one had the hook of at the beginning and we caught the second one. At noon we were in with some nice fish for dinner.

640 pounds Blue Marlin caught and 12 ski

September 6, 2023

We were out for a 5hrs half day trip. After an hour out we started catching the skipjack tuna. We caught 12 and the fish stopped bitting. We then had a strike of Marlin on the short corner line. The 80 pounds reel started singing. We cleared all the other lines and were ready for the fight. About 600 to 700 meters of line was out. We started moving backwards on the fish to get some line. We saw a massive blue marlin jumping. After 30 mins of fight the fish dived down. It was extremely heavy. The fight lasted 2hours. When arriving next to the boat the massive fish was already dead. We were back in the lagoon with some nice catch

3 splendid doradoes and 2 skipjacks

September 5, 2023

We went out for a 5hrs trip. Not long after being out we hooked a skipjack that we immediately used as live bait. After an 2 hours no big fish came so we decided to go with artificial. After some trolling we hooked 2 doradoes. One the hook went off. While fighting the other dorado we saw 2 more following. We used pieces of skipjack and were able to catch 2 more doradoes. On the way back we caught another skipjack. We were back in the lagoon with 3 doradoes and 2 skipjacks

If fishing live bait, ask the captain to give you a rod too, otherwise you will be watching the crew fish and waiting for them to hook one for you. If you are a fisherman, you will want to experience the take!!!

The best Blue Marlin season even though it is still hard to catch. Fortunately full day fishing you can catch something else too. At least for us sea conditions were nice but sun is really burning. Better got a boat with suncover.

Don´t expect to catch always Blue Marlen, we got a 21.3 kg Giant Trevallor and it was picked up for Restaurant after taking Picture. The Ocean has many surprises and this is what you should looking for. Perhaps the list of fishes to be cought there should be Extended after that catch.

To pick a day where the weather is good failing which be prepared for rough seas and possibility of sea sickness which is unfortunate ??

Book this trip! Excellent service from a very nice, friendly and professional father and son! They know their fishing, even I as an amateur can tell that. Next time we are in Mauritius we will go with them again.

Check with the captain about keeping the catch or not. If you want to keep the catch you will probably have to pay for it. Bad practice, but common in Mauritius.

The skipper (Kevin) and crew are friendly and try everything to put you in the fish. All of the equipment is top of the line and looked after. The boat is fast to get you to your locations quicker and has everything on it you need for an enjoyable day out.

Hang in there, stick to your plan of targeted species. I was targeting big blue marlin. We had 1 knockdown the first 3 days of fishing. On day 4 we raised 3 marlin and got this one.
