QUIET
The Blue Marlin 3 left this this morning the harbour with 4 anglers.
The boat was booked as a Part Charter.
The fishermen aboard saw today a White Marlin besides the boat, but this fish wasn't interested at all.
It was Gordon, a sport fisher from England, who caught on this trip a good sized Dorado.
On the boardradio we heard this morning, that one boat from Puerto de Mogan was fighting, about 20 minutes, with a Blue Marlin but they have lost the fish.

BIG DORADO'S
Today I was trolling on the Blue Marlin 3. On the 6 hours trip we located a school with very big Dorado's but these were not hungry.
More luck today on the boat Lucky Ruby G, where Rick Griffiths and Steve Grantham caught 2 good sized Dorado's and 2 nice Skipjacks.
The anglers had also a hook upp with a Spearfish but it got off after 5 mins.
No 'big fish' today on the other boats

REEF FISHING
It was today, the dutch angler Ben van Hooff who was fighting more than half an hour with a big Roughtail Stingray.
Jeroen and Pierre Verdult fished today on the Blue Marlin 3 their last day of a 'great' fishing week.
They caught in the last seven days lots of good sized Red Snappers and some nice Stingrays.
Thanks again boys and we hope we will see you back next year.
The Cavalier went this morning to the drydock. This 'yearly repair' will take a couple of days.

MUCH ACTIVITY
The daily report which I received tonight from the Cavalier wrote:
At 11 a.m we had located a school with very big Skipjacks, we tried everything but.......the fish wasn't interested in our baitfish.
Only one hour later, we saw a White Marlin swimming behind the lures, but also this one went away.
On the way in to the harbour we saw also a jumping Blue Marlin and lots of Dorado's.
Not one of the fishing boats caught today fish on the trolling. But sure it takes now only a few days more.
The fishermen on the Blue Marlin 3 caught today 8 nice Red Snappers ans some small Rays. ( Photo of the Day)

TROLLING
Today all the boats were trolling, but not one of them caught one fish.
There were seen plenty of dolphins, whales and big schools of baitfish, so maybe......?

BIG EYE & YELLOW FIN
It was today the boat Cavalier, who had located, about 9 miles out of the coast, two big schools with Big Eye and Yellow Fin Tuna.
The fish was estimated by the crew between 80 and 100 kilo each.
Bad luck, but the fish was not interested in the lures.
Tomorrow we will try again.
The fishermen on the Blue Marlin 3 caught on this last day of the week some good sized Red Snappers and some Atlantic Bonito's.
Our Photo of the Day goes to Pierre with his son Jeroen Verdult, who caught today, but also the days before, lots of nice fishes aboard the Blue Marlin 3.

RAYS & SNAPPERS
It was today the boat Cavalier which was chartered by Ard Haze from Holland who was still dreaming a long time to catch a 'big' Stingray.
Marcello Hoebe caught at 11.15 a.m the first Stingray.
After, we had released Marcello's fish, Ard's dream came true.
He hooked up with a really big Black Ray and this fight took more than 45 minutes.
Together with son Tom you can see his catch in our photo album: Photo Archives.
Also Marjolein caught on this trip a good sized Roughtail Ray.
Plenty of fish also on the Blue Marlin 3 where John Ceulemans with his friend and Pierre and Jeroen Verdult did very well with catching 4 Atlantic Bonito's and some really very big, more than 8 lbs weigthing, Red Snappers.
Also here today the catch of a Common Stingray.

MODERATE CAPTURE
The month May had a moderate start.
It were only the fishermen on the boat Blue Marlin 3 who caught on the reef some small fish and an Octopus.
Our other boats were trolling today and caught nothing.
The private boat Black Marlin caught this afternoon a blue marlin.
