Trip Summary

Our team of South African customers were after their first big fish ever.With very calm seas and not many bites in the normal fishing area we decided to head south to look for some action.We found a school of Dorado and got a hit on a small lure.The fish gave a good fight but got free close to the boat.We found two other schools but the fishes were not interested in our offerings.On the way back the centre rigger lure got hit in a spectacular way with the marlin doing a lot of Aerials.One hour and fifteen minutes later the 325 lbs blue marlin was close to the boat ,it made some more jumps and almost hit the boat,as it was agreed we let the fish free after seeing that the hook could be pulled out easily.Lucky fish, lucky fisherman,lucky day.
