Trip Summary

Early into the trip we had a strike on the short rigger lure and half an hour of fight later found out that it was an estimated 200 lbs mako shark that had taken the lure.It was released as per regulations here in Mauritius. We saw some schools of skipjacks but they were bite shy.On the way back ,just before getting the lines in we were happy to hear a long corner reel screaming. At first we thought it was a wahoo but saw a nice sailfish start doing some acrobatic jumps.It almost got away close to the boat but the gaff went in just in time.
