Yesterday we had a fishing day to forget as soon as possible.
The boat was booked as full charter by 6 anglers, and on a Full Charter the crew expect keen fishermen.
Unfortunately, this was the opposite so we had 6 'tipsy` Norwegians on board.
You still try to make the best of a fishing day like this, but in fact is a fishing trip like this already ruined.
And really if you hooked up with 6 Atlantic Bonito which are all lost...........?.
Okay .........................we forget this bull shit day a.s.a.p.

==========

This morning we start the day with 8 fantastic fishermen.
Now we had fortunately experience anglers on board and they did also some nice catches.
Three good sized Barracuda could not resist the bait and were caught by the German Mich from Cologne, Hinke Wolters from Holland and the Belgium angler Willy Vermeulen.

Also was the Atlantic Bonito active again.
Thanks to Dick Bakker from Holland and Nigel Hunt from Wales.

Where they came from is still a mystery to us, but today we hooked up with 9 Rays
Unfortunately we have not seen the heaviest one, but a straight hook, after a fight of more than 60 minutes ...........!!!!

All rays which have been caught were immediately released.
These species ranged all between 10 and 40 kilos.

Thanks to: Willy, Gary, Matthias, Nigel Dick, Hinke and Mich.
