3 Hours with Duarte…a lifetime worth of fishing…!

Duarte reporting in on a trip they had last week…out of Baz.

“Cool man, nothing to do with this wind but brave it out there bru. To me this is good, the more it blows earlier in the season from the SE the more it pushes good water into the edge and the stronger the current. Every year there is a good number of SE in August to September we have a great season.

4 Sailies released! (c) Duarte Rato

Did go out a few days ago with two nice girls from Zim, we only fished 3 hours and it was EPIC. We caught a bunch of school yellowfin tuna and bonito, two nice wahoo of 22 and a monster of 31 kilos and released 4 sailfish out of 7 bites. All in three hours work. The sailfish bite was awesome but the girls had enough and wanted to return home. AWESOME!!!”
