Trip Summary
Trip Summary
We went out at 7a.m for a full day trip. After 1 hours out we met a school of bonito. Hook one but unfortunately it went away. Bonito was hard to catch on that day. We went from one school to another no luck till we met a school of skipjacks and caught 2.
While trolling among the skipjacks we noted the presence of a blue marlin few meters behind the boat playing with the teaser and attacking it 3 times we pulled the teaser in and thrown a bait on the 80 pounds reel. The marlin took it. It jumped few times. The fight last 45 minutes and the fish was caught. We set the lines once more with the intention of catching more fish and were lucky to hook up a nice 22 pounds wahoo. We were back on the beach at 3p.m with a nice catch
