We finished a very frustrating week of light tackle marlin watching... We had everything that could possibly go wrong going wrong... We raised around 20 blues of wich most of them were not keen on switching to a bait at all. The ones that did either got tailwrapped on 20 pound line , swam throug the line on the bite,got billwrapped or missed the bait and faded away.We caught a rediculess 2 fish and a white marlin only. i feel really sorry for Marc Giraud who put all the efford and money into this trip.I really hope his next trip will be a great success.

Capt.Marty-report - 29/04/2016
Yesterday was the first day of our 9 day charter. Decisions decisions on where to fish...there was a great bite in Sao nicolau and santo antao. We decided to head to sao nicolau to try our luck. Arriving to the island we got a bite on the lure but after a few minutes pulled the hook. Made it to the bank and managed to pitch to one and got the release. Went 1-2 but the water was patchy so we decide to head back to San Pedro the next morning. No fish raised for the crossing but once we arrived in San Pedro the bite came on strong. We had a few fish crash bite the teasers but not switching. We ended up hooking up and releasing a small fish on our swimming bait. Today we went 1-3, raising 4 more that didn't bite. Tomorrow we head back out behind the island looking to settle the score with those marlin.

Capt.Olaf-report - 29/04/2016

Capt.Marty-report - 26/04/2016
Today was a good day with our English charter...they are only fishing a day and a half so there's pressure to get the three guys a fish each. We went 2-3 today...catching a 300 LB blue for the birthday boy then a 275 LB for the other. Had the third fish hooked on the pitch but after a few minutes he spat the bait. Only fishing a half day tomorrow so we are hoping to produce at least one more fish!

We are finally back in mindelo after five days of fishing in santo antao, traveling out to the northwest bank for three of those days. Seeing lots of fish and plenty of bites.

Today we caught zero but the last five days we have seen 31 blues...had 19 contacts and caught 9. We caught 3 wahoo and two small yellowfin tunas. Overall a good trip with our good friends/charter robbie and Wes. Last day fishing with them tomorrow!

Today we went 1-2 and raised a small one while cheering on Olaf Grimkowski, on the andromeda as Michele caught a 600 LB blue marlin. The small fish faded off before getting a bait to it. Not long after we had a huge crash bite on the right teaser, Federico pitched the bait and hooked a beautiful 750 LB fish.
