Marlin (Blue)
Trip Summary
Trip Summary
After some days of bad weather conditions we were finally able to go out. The wind dropped and there was just a very light chop.We found that there were quite a lot of seabirds flying in the area indicating that the skipjack tunas were not far. We found a school and caught some but they quite picky on the bite so we decided to troll with lures around that school. It turned out to be a good decision as five minutes later a blue marlin took our long rigger lure .Our customer for that trip, Mr Matt,got on the fighting chair and it was game on. After a nice fight the fish was pulled onboard. Nice sea,sun out,marlin in the boat...,a wonderful winter day it was for Mr Matt,his wife and their two sons
