STRIKE BLUE MARLIN

During the last 3 fishing days, the boat CAVALIER was chartered by Jason Watling and Duncan Eves from England.

After a somewhat disappointing 1st 'trolling` day, the crew fished yesterday on the Pasito Blanco reef.
Here both anglers caught, lots of Seabreams and some good sized Common Stingrays
The heaviest ones weigthed 200 and 110 lbs.

This morning, on their 3rd fishing trip, they tried again to catch the `King of the Sea`.
At 5.30 PM they were nearly successful.
A Blue Marlin had taken the lure of the left rigger, but spit it out after a short run.
About 60 seconds the Blue marlin was swimming behind the other lures before it went back to the depth.
Sometimes it is a hard life to be a fisherman.

Hopefully Jason and Duncan have some more luck on their next fishing trips.
