Normally the boat Cavalier is fishing with an average of 8 anglers, but today there were only 4 anglers and 1 spectator booked.

The morning starts with the catch of a big Dorado with a weight of 10 kilos.
Thomas from Sweden caught this fish on a 15 lbs rod and the fight took about 15 minutes before he could land this beauty. Amazing, well done.

We fished with some light tackle rods and lines on the surface of the water and some of the anglers were very successfull with the catch of North Atlantic Bonito, each weighing 5 to 8 kilos.
Two were caught by the Italian, Enzo and also the Dutch fishermen Vincent and Frank van Rijn caught one.
Unfortunately 5 of these hard fighters were lost during the fight.

Also on this trip several bites of Barracuda. Two of them were caught by Thomas from Sweden and Vincent from Holland.

We fished also with some lines on the flat bottom. Here were the strips of mackerel very tempting for the different species of rays.
An estimated 40 kilo stingray was the heaviest of the five captured.

Furthermore, on this trip 2 Red Snappers, 2 Murenes and several dozen smaller Seabreams.
An estimated 3 kilo Comber was just lost behind the boat.
