Lots of activity of Marlin and Albacores

Catches can change every day.
Yesterday it seemed like the whole Atlantic was empty
Even the dolphins, which normally swim in large schools along the boat, did not show up this day.

Today it was suddenly very different and swirled the water again of the many fish.
Pretty soon this morning reported the boat Cavalier a hooke up with a Blue Marlin.
It was the rod of Luc Destuyver.
Unfortunately, escaped this Blue again after a run of about 100 meters.
Too bad, but this was certainly more activity than the entire fishing trip of yesterday.

We saw a second Blue Marlin about 30 minutes later, but the fish barely looked at our lures and disappeared again into the depths.
The same scene was repeated again moments later by a White Marlin and a third Blue Marlin.

Halfway through the fishing trip, we found a big school with Albacore tuna.
10 minutes later 3 fishermen hooked up some of these strong fighters.
Two were expertly captured by Margot Moonen from Holland and Luc Destuyver from Belgium.
The third was unfortunately just lost behind the boat.
During this trip there were also several skipjack tuna caught.

Also success on the other boats. So I just heard that Antonio had released a Blue Marlin and caught one Albacore.
Adrian also released a Blue Marlin.
Furthermore, almost all sport fishing boats caught today plenty of Skipjack Tuna.

Hopefully, the party goes on for a while.
