Insane Cape Verde blue marlin bite continues!

Insane Cape Verde blue marlin bite continues!

by Captain Duarte Rato

“Hey brother and the insane bite continues…

This morning we only fished a half day (5 hours) because our clients had to catch a plane back home….but we made it count and released 2 out of three fish.

The first fish come in hot on the teasers 15 minutes after we started and switched on the big ballyhoo pitch bait – hookup and release!

An h0ur later we get another one up on the short left teaser and hookup again. The fish, about 350 put on a great fight on the stand up #50 (that´s all we fishing) before release.

Before getting back we still had another that jumped as the client was feeding and never hooked up…

Two blues before lunch ain´t bad!!!!”
