31st December

What a good way to end the year plenty of good quality fish and a boat full of very happy clients. Today our good friend and regular client mika from Finland caught a nice Atlantic tuna on the lightest rod on the boat, exiting stuff and really good fishing. we also had more tuna, some red snappers and a big barracuda. What an excellent end to the year.

Today was definitely a day of 2 halves with 5 rays,2 Atlantic tuna and an assortment of smaller fish this morning but the afternoon produced only a lizard fish and 1 common sting ray. Its a funny old game this fishing.

We had a difficult day today with regards to positioning the boat, with the wind changing direction at least 3 times during the day. We did still manage to catch some good fish though with Atlantic tuna rays and a lot of reef fish.

The fish seem to have started there Christmas holiday already as today proved to be a bit difficult, with only a couple of rays an octopus and loads of little reef fish, its a shame they go on holiday permanently.
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

A strange day today with wind, rain, sun and calm conditions and that’s only the weather, the fishing was also a bit of a mystery with a nice eagle ray lots of lizard fish, weavers and two turtles. Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit more sensible in every way.

With the arrival of our first storm this year, today was a much better day for the fish than the fishermen. we did however manage to keep fishing all day and the results were 3 sting rays two turtles and a lot of smaller fish. The weather has made sure we cant fish tomorrow but I suppose 1 or 2 days a year is not bad.

We had quite a problem today trying to get a decent sized bait past the smaller species of fish on the reef. We did however manage to catch a nice angel shark, a fair sized sting ray and a couple of big sea bream before we decided to get the very light rods out and see how many of the little pests we could catch. The result was no stop action and no idea how many we caught but easily 100s.So not to many specimen fish but a good day was had by all aboard.

We changed the time of our trip today at our clients request so they could have a drink on there last night and a lay in this morning. The fishing was also unusual being very slow for the first 4 hours and virtual mayhem for the last 2 during which time our Swedish couple managed to drag an enormous turtle to the boat, Dale and Yan from Denmark both caught good sized rays and Tim Riches from England also had his first ever sting ray.

A very different day today with all our clients catching very good quality fish. We caught 3 big angel sharks, some good sized rays, very big garfish and a lot of smaller specimens. Well done to all on board. I think today was a very good example of our policy to take less fishermen to catch more fish which is why we take a maximum of only 6 fishermen per trip.

Another good day for our clients but not to good for the fish we did however manage to catch a lot of our smaller species which kept every body busy along with some assorted rays. Hopefully things should start improving with greater numbers or our winter fish arriving by the day
