Puerto Rico 23.00 o`clock
MANY FISH

Today some trips with lots of sensation and action.

The Blue Marlin 3 starts this morning with the trolling fishing.
At 10.30 am they saw a 'small` blue marlin behind the lures.
The crew tried really everything to activate this more or less 250 pounds marlin, but the fish wasn't interested in the lures and went away.
At 12.00 pm the crew made the choice to do also some reef fishing, and not without success.
In these last 3 fishing hours, the clients caught 6 red snappers and some nice rays.

The Cavalier had today a trip from 3 pm till 8 pm. The boat went out with 3 dutch angler and undersigned.
After one hour we saw a school of 8 till 10 pounds dorado's.
The best beaitfish for our marlin.
At about 6 pm we saw the black dorsal fin from a 500 till 600 pounds blue marlin behind the lures.
The fish stayed there for about 2 minutes and really touched all our lures.
She took the line out of the clip from the outrigger and.....................she was gone again.

Only 15 minutes later, we saw another 'small` ( read: 300 lbs) blue behind the boat, and also this one was very curious in all our different lures.
Badluck, because also this one went back to the depth of the ocean.

This afternoon we had also a phone-call from the Bochinegro. This boat is at the moment fishing in Gomera and they released today their first blue marlin with a weight of more or less 420 lbs.
Congratulations and well done guys !!

The White Marlin had a special jigging tour today. Later more news about this trip.
