Trip Summary
Tom, Christina, John & Sandra from New York joined us aboard GOOD DAY this week. After an excellent couple of days with us last year Tom was excited to see what they could catch this year.
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.
Catch report - day 1
5 for 6 Sailfish
1 Tuna 30lbs
Lost a Blue Marlin
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!
