Happy Birthday Phil

Since Gran Canaria was plagued yesterday by rain and heavy gusts of wind, it was decided this morning to go bottom fishing.
The sun was happy again and with a moderate south-west wind it became a great fishing day.

Today we had the Paige family from the United Kingdom aboard the Cavalier.
The fishing trip was organized in honor of Father Phil's birthday.
And Phil did not dare wish for a nicer gift.
The catches were really fantastic.

A big Bluefish, several beautiful Atlantic Bonito's and Barracudas were caught with live bait.
When an Atlantic Bonito was used as bait a bit later, the temptation for an estimated 25 kilos heavy hammerhead shark was too great.
This was of course released neatly and we unfortunately can not publish photos of this catch.

On the bottom and just above, a few dozen breams and other reef inhabitants were spoiled with the strips of fresh mackerel.

All in all a very successful fishing day.
