After a tough first day out the bite picked up the next 2 days with 52 sailfish and a blue marlin raised for their trip….a good time to teach the kids the techniques!
That’s what it’s all about. 9yr old Ivy and Emma releasing 4, Wyatt accounted for 7 and Emma got into the beauty above with all of them getting to pitch baits to sails off the teasers. An awesome trip all round. Some big fish in the mix !!
