Trip Summary
Right at the start of the Wahoo season we have our good friends Bob and Nigel visiting us again. A real pleasure to invite them here again and have fun times with them fishing for species they have not landed before. The guys are fishing two days with us and as Madeira is not having the best of seasons with regards to Big Game Fishing and the Blue Marlin so we have tailored there days here to make sure they get the most of what the fishery here has to offer at this time. So with a game plan in mind we set off for day one ............ mission catch fish.
Today is going to be a Mixed Fishing day and we started with a couple of hours bait fishing. We had a great time and lots of fish were caught. We landed over 12 diferent species, several types of Bream, Snappers, Triggerfish, Grouper, duckfish and more. Using light tackle every fish gives a good bend in the rod.
Everyone is happy.
Time to change it up! So we put away the bottom fishing rods had a quick clean up and brought out the Penn 30's amd 50's and within a few minutes we had our lures out in the water.
So today we are hoping to attract a nice Wahoo to bite as they should be arriving in the waters around the island any time now.
Enjoying the sunshine and scenery everyone is relaxed watching the lures and then BANG! and we are hooked up!
Nice big wahoo on and taking line....This is going to be the biggest fish of the day for sure. Nigels quick to take the rod and wind this beautiful Wahoo to the boat. Expertly done.
50lb Wahoo and a first for our angler Nigel.
We have spaces over the the next couple of months for anyone who may be interested in catching one of these beauties.
