3 red groupers

November 30, 2024

To start this day, we went through Le Morne to start fishing, on the way we saw some dolphins so we stopped to watch them. Arriving on the spot , we start to prepare the equipments. After 5 and 6 trials, our captain Samuel catched a red grouper. We changed spot where our customer catch a red grouper too. We continue fishing then our co-captain Leo catch another grouper. We changed spot to spot before doing trolling for tuna, unfortunately we didn’t catch any. But our clients were very happy about their catch of the day which 3 Red Groupers!

Afternoon fishing

Skipjacks and 523lbs blue marlin

August 2, 2015

Great day for these first time fishermen. Started at 07h00 and after one hour, we came across hundreds of birds following a school of Skipjacks and as soon as we reached the school six of nine lines out started screaming and the action was on. Skipjacks everywhere and our customers were having fun. After a while and having caught around 15 Skipjacks, everything went quiet, could still see the birds and Skipjacks jumping around but no more bites....We did not give up and after one hour of moving around the school, we suddenly noticed a nice black shadow behind the teaser, no doubt it was a marlin! It left the teaser and went straight towards the lure on the shotgun and swallowed the lure straight away. The battle was on and after one and a half hour, it was done for these first time fishermen but it was not that easy for them. And the scale accused 523lbs for this nice blue marlin.

Black marlin, yellowfin and bonito

June 14, 2015

Started at 09h00 and went north for a change this time. Lot of rain and windy for the next three hours and no activity at the surface so we went to a nearby FAD and found lots of birds around. There we managed to catch seven yellowfin and three bonito and lost a few more. Customers were very happy as this was their first experience at sea. So we headed back slowly with a few lures at the back when suddenly at about 45minutes from the harbour the elastic on the short rigger snapped and that black marlin started jumping everywhere behind. After 30 minutes the fish was caught. Great day again on the Hooker 1.

What anglers said about fishing in Grande Riviere Noire

Kids had a fantastic fishing and exploration excursion with Mr. Rishi and his team. Even though they had no prior experience, Mr. Rishi proved to be an excellent teacher — patient, friendly, and great with children. The boys truly enjoyed the adventure and especially the fishing. We’re definitely coming back next time! very nice. You can catch a fish in 5 min. I highly recommend to try this

Don't be afraid, pick the 5am trip to sea the sky fully covered with stars, and just go. Long sleeves, phone to make photos. That's what you need. Rishi is a wonderful company, very patient, helpful, and will guide you with all the knowledge of the fishing world.

Good time - we caught a lot of tuna. Unfortunately no merlin but this is not the main season for the species.

Listen to the skipper. They know what they are doing. I prefer the smaller sport boats as they are faster and easier and tend to be owned by local fishermen who know what they are doing and they rely on it, as it is how they make their living. Please do not think that you need a big fancy sport boats with a big cabin etc etc. Trust me I have used them in the past and have had much more success with the smaller boats with locals. They provide everything you need and will get you on the fish.

It is only fishing, don't have to high expectations. Just go with the catch! We didn't catch a Marlin but three nice Tunas.

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.
