Trip Summary

Early action on the first drop off with the run of small bonitos.As soon as we had the second line in the water we started catching the bait sized bonitos.After about half an hour we hooked a bigger one and as the angler was reeling the fish in a Dogtooth tuna grabbed the bonito just a couple of metres from the boat and let it go right away.We quickly rigged a smaller one and as soon as it hit the water it was eaten by the tuna.The Dogtooth tuna being a fierce fighter it took the angler 30 minutes to get the fish close enough for a gaff shot.Later one we had a Spanish mackrel strike on a bonito but we lost it.
