We have heaps of blue marlin here at the moment, most boats getting at least 6 shots a day and all fish seem to be over 500lb mark. also some real big girls in the mix as well. yellowfin, tons of skippies, spearfish and white marlin, don't know whats going on, but man, it's like Christmas !!! looking for clients from the 11th onwards,
shame to waste all these fish !!


Cheers,

Jason.

Yesterday we had 2 blue marlin out of 3. Both nice fish. We saw big yellow fins and albacore and absolutely heaps of skipjacks, baitballs and whales. Today was even better, we were the only boat fishing and our first action of the day was a triple header of blue marlin all over 600lb !! BUT....Not on eof them stayed on the hook ! Next we saw giant yellowfin of way over 100kg. Then we saw loads of albacore tuna nd decided to catch one for dinner. Our small lure didn't last long in the water and we pulled in a fish of around 15kg. the rest of the day was all go, to much to put into words....baitballs with blue marlin on them, all types of tuna, whales etc you name it we saw it. we had two double headers of blue marlin and eventually went 5 for 11 and saw a total of 18 blues.NO SMALL FISH, The biggest was around 750lb but were all mainly 600's. We were really unlucky on 3 of our fish and pulled the hooks real close to the boat or they jumped us off just before touching the leader. But thats fishing. no one really cared as there ws so much action. I have to go to England tomorrow for some personal matters but will be back out there on Sunday. The fish will still be here as there is just so much bait. Any one interested give me a call.

Cheers,
Jason

Well i got back to la gomera on sunday a 3pm. the guys were waiting on the boat, we managed to get the lures in the water by 4pm and didn't have to wait long blue marlin after blue marlin came in. they just weren't sticking and we went 2 for 8 and saw 5 more. the next day we decided to bait and switch but only raised 1 fish that we caught. today we did the same 1 for 1. Both fish around the 600lb mark. the tuna are still everywhere with the commercials catching around 4000kg each a day.
Tight lines,
JP.

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.
