Angola Grander Blue Marlin

Angola Grander Blue Marlin

Some more pics of the sensational Angola Grander Blue Marlin taken this week. This time off Lobito in Angola, and yes again, on a small 21ft ski-boat type vessel.

This one made it to the scales however and it came in at 497kgs!

Inside the huge marlin, was a sailfish, estimated at about 25kg’s…mmm, using sailfish for a livebait?!

It seems to be a good time to go hunting for 1000 pounders!

Thanks to Sardine scribe Marc Lange on the spot in Angola, for the pics and details.

Stay in the loop as Captain Duarte Rato, regular contributor to The Sardine News, keeps on 1000 pound marlin watch. Each year Duarte researches the information and posts it here and on http://fishbazaruto.com.

Also on Fish Bazaruto, you can browse through an incredibly informative and entertaining collection of articles and journals by Duarte, as he chases these 1000 pounders all over the world. You can also join him in this quest by getting in touch through the Fish Bazaruto website or his Facebook pages…

And while we are in the marlin mood, check out the video linked below, of an Angolan Blue Marlin chasing the teasers and giving them more than one go. This is another huge fish that also seems intent on growing over the mark.

Exploring the Bazaruto Archipelago

Exploring the Bazaruto Archipelago

There is just so, so much to do and see, in the Bazaruto Archipelago.

But you need a boat.

And this is when you log on to fishbazaruto.com and get in touch with the team who are right there in Vilankulos. With boats aplenty.

Fish Bazaruto is captained by local guide and skipper, Duarte Rato. Who has amassed more hours out and around the Bazaruto Archipelago islands than even most of the fish out there. His main job is taming huge marlin and teaching them some manners before releasing them. His stern talking to’s have gained Duarte much respect in the world of marlin fishing.

Fish Bazaruto have recently expanded their fleet and have begun focusing on family and fun activities, to complement their sport fishing packages.

So now, whilst the manne are out fishing, the ladies and kids can cruise the villages and explore the markets, ride a fat bike, cruise in a canoe…

Or take a boat!

Out to the deserted sandy islands and beaches, winding through crystal clear channels, sea life all around. Flamingoes. Rays. Maybe even a pod of dolphins will come say hi. The boat cruises are customizable and can include an island barbeque. Or snorkelling the sea grass for seahorses. Or catch and release fishing. Or just soaking up some well deserved vitamin D.

For an even more adventurous day, go on an ocean safari or whale watching trip (in season) and put yourself right in the thick of things. Marine wild life in these waters is world renowned. They even got dugongs!

So get in touch with Captain Duarte Rato via his content rich and feature-filled website on fishbazaruto.com
