The Bishops first taste of Bazaruto magic

The Bishops first taste of Bazaruto

Fresh in from captain Duarte Rato fishing the season off Bazaruto…

“We had Mark and his two sons Matt & Tom Bishop on their first ever trip to the Archipelago and in search of their first Black Marlin and very keen to catch a couple of big sharks. Well, they started the trip on the right foot releasing a 400-pound Black Marlin on their first morning and it just got better and better. On their last day they released another Black, this one estimated at 600 pounds also on a YFT live bait. In between they caught everything else imaginable including a couple of big sharks, a big 25 kg great barracuda, lots of nice yellowfin tuna, some big wahoo and king mackerel, bonito, kingies and a sailfish!”
