Welcome back

We were out for a full day trip with nice conditions and after a quiet start we got into action with the wahoos and in the afternoon caught skipjacks as well as a splendid sailfish and a yellow fin tuna.

Our regular guest Mr Peter brought his friend to experience deep sea trolling and what an experience it turned out to be. A blue marlin, some skipjacks and a yellowfin tuna on the first trip.Patience paid off as we were trolling with live bait since 8:00 a.m and only got the strike around12:00. It was a fierce fight but the angler did very well on his first ever big saltwater fish.

After some northerly wind and choppy seas it was starting to get better.We caught a skipjack early during the trip and started live baiting but the bait quickly got weak and the schools around us were dissipating.We put the lures out and headed gor the deeper waters were we caught another skipjack. Just after leaving the school we got a strike and it was game on. Our customer who had been looking to catch his first marlin in different countries finally got it after a 25 minutes fight.While the crew were resetting the lures 2 marlins showed up behind the lures and we got a hookup on the short corner lure.It was an estimated 600 lbs blue that was very aggressive and took a lot of line on the 80lbs reel. Our customer got on the fighting chair but unfortunately the line broke after the marlin started doing some acrobatic jumps far away from the boat.We came back with a blue marlin and 2 skipjacks.
