Steve has fished 4 days big game with us. Day one we hooked into a blue marlin cleared all the lines and started to back down. After 10mins the fish shook the hook so we put all lines out again. Within 10 mins we had a lovely big spearfish come into the spread all lit up and it followed our lure for 3.5 mins knocked the lure out of the clip and then swam away. Very exciting but no catch today. Day 2 started with a nice mahi mahi in the morning then just before lunch a brilliant take and marlin on …. Reel screamed away and the fight was on. A half hour fight brough a 500lb marlin to the boat. Well done Steve a fathers day marlin!!! Later that afternoon we had a double strike and 2 nice mahi mahi. Day 3. Very quite out in the water no strikes at all. Day 4 and Steves ? we left the harbour set of the lures and just 10 mins in a big strike!!!! Marlin on this time a much bigger fish. And it jumped and ran 9 times before we managed to get it to the boat. We safely released an 800lb marlin! Happy Birthday Steve ?

First hook up of the 2025 season for Flipper II lovely blue marlin hit left long and the reel screamed away. We quickly cleared all the lines and with our angler in the chair we started the fight. 5 minutes into the fight the fish turned and shook the hook. Shame this was only a three hour trip and with more time we may well have hooked up again. We saw plenty of life out there today. The season is starting!!
