STINGRAYS and SKIPJACKS
The last two days, the boats caught plenty of Dorado's and Skipjack Tunas.
Not really big monsters, but with light rods a great sport.
So the most clients were satisfied with these catches.
Some others were waiting for the Marlin. And with all these baitfish in the water, they know that the Blues are also there.
The Blue Marlin 3 fished also a few hours on the reef of Puerto Rico.
They caught some good sized Roughtail Stingrays. These were caught by Mark van Loon from Holland and Nils Thorlak from Denmark.
Tomorrow we will try it again.

This huge blue marlin came as a spear out of the water and took, on only 7 meters behind the deck, the lure of the 'short rigger'.
It was for the 3 Dutch fishermen on board their first big game experience.
That's why they were totally flabbergasted of this crazy big game explosion.
Go, go ,go, go.....and capitan Abraham, of the boat Cavalier, set the hook.
It was Peter Schuurbiers from Holland, who together with his two sons, had booked this fishing trip with us.
On the way out, Hafid had explained, the using of the fishing gear to Peter, so now he could show us, if he remembered this first big game lession?

HUGE BLUE LOST
The start this morning was really great.
The Blue Marlin 3 left at 9 a.m the harbour of Puerto Rico and at 9.30 a.m they had still their 1st hook up with a 'huge' Blue Marlin.
The Blue Marlin took the lure of the 80 lb rod of the Scottish fisherman Norrie Smith.
Norrie has been fighting 55 minutes with this monster.
Very bad luck for him, because a few seconds before the crew could tag the fish, she spit out the hook and went back to the deep ocean.
Sorry Norrie,shit happens and some times it is very hard to be a fisherman.
Next year I will reserve a marlin for you !!!!
