Week 34, Aug. 18-24:
This week we have been baiting and switching for the marlin and getting better results. The albacore seem to have gone but the yellowfin are still here with heaps of bait and heaps of skipjack. At the moment we are seeing around 2-4 marlin a day. we have had a couple of days of but are back out tomorrow.....
Week 35, Aug. 25-31:
The last few days have been great. On saturday we saw whales feeding on giant bait balls, we saw yellow fin and the albacore are back. we didn't target any of these species but we did target blue marlin. We caught our first fish early on about 45 minutes after lines out and it was around 400lb. we then caught another 2 which were both around 500+. Later we got another 2 bites but we didn't make the switch and saw 3 more feeding. sunday we caught 3 out of 5 one fish was 700+ the 2 we didn't get spat the bait out, they don't like mullet !! Yesterday we didn't raise a fish but saw one feeding. Today we raised 4 fish got 2 bites but they didn't stick. one of the fish was big.....Again lots of bait balls and whales. we also saw big yellow fin around 150kg and also some smaller ones. back out tomorrow.....The last two days we have seen 18 blue marlin, raised 11 and caught 4. All over 500lb and 2 over 600lb. seeing alot more tuna now as well. We have from the 3rd of september free....
All the best,
Jason.
