Trip Summary

Today we have been out with some of our friends and ex UK anglers on a mixed day fishing trip. We started today with a bit of trolling on the way down to the fishing grounds. We ran some lures way out back of the boat in the hope of picking up a barracuda or a wahoo. No bites unfortunately but it was still early in the day. We pulled in the lures and got out the light tackle and fished some baits over a few of our favoured spots. The aim of the bait fishing today was to try and catch as many different species as we could and size was not important! So we had a little species comp and the bites where plentiful. We lost count at about 9 species but it was great fun. The anglers certainly had some nice Snapper and Triggers for the BB See more from us at **hidden content** Red Snapper Red Snapper Mixed Fishing Trip Flipper II Mixed Fishing Trip Trigger Fish Trigger Fish Mixed Fishing Trip Flipper II Fishing Flipper II Madeira Big Game Family Fun Having Fun on the water Fishing Some nice fish for supper too.

Birds going crazy and fish feeding on the surface all around us. Unfortunately we didnt get a hook up but it didnt spoil anyones day. We all had a great time and we are set to have another go tomorrow.
