Day 1 got off to a flyer and we enjoyed a pretty Good Sailfish bite going 5 for 6 on Sails and the guys enjoyed deploying some tags for Gray FishTag Research.
Sandra caught a stunning Yellowfin Tuna which provided them with some excellent meals up at Shana by the Beach hotel prepared by Warner and the team.
The girls had a blast watching the spinner dolphins and tuna school & the fishy moment of the day was when a Blue Marlin crashed the right Squidnation teaser and piled on the Bonito pitch bait that we threw him. Fish on! Unfortunately it didn’t last very long & the hook pulled during the first run to everyone’s dissapointment.

Day 2 yesterday was a boys trip whilst the ladies pampered themselves with a Spa/Massage Day. We headed out 36 miles where there had been a nice Marlin/Sail bite the previous day. We marked fish like crazy 100-200 feet down but there was so much bait there that just did not seem interested. We fished our socks off, we were completely focussed on catching the guys a Marlin but things just did not work out. We caught one monster Bonito, had a brief encounter with 1 Sailfish behind the teaser which quickly faded off and that was about it. Super tough day, you can’t win them all!
Thank to Tom, John & the ladies for fishing with us, great to have you aboard and hope to see you soon.
Heading back out there now with Tim & Dean from England!
