Trip Summary

Met with 2 lovely couples from US today for a birthday celebration trip. Keen anglers who love being on the water. We set off with the sunshining and put out a soread to include lures to attract both wahoo and tuna. Chatting and getting to know each other and of course keeping an eye on the lures it wasnt long before both Dan and myself noticed a rod twitch….on a second look the rod bent over and the reel started to scream off. Quickly clearing the lines Dan took charge and expertly reeled in a nice 45lb wahoo. Happy Birthday!! Unfortunately today the weather beefed up and we had to cut the trip short but everyone left with a smile and enough fish for a great supper or two.
