A special mention to Morgan from Sweden who had a beautifull Barracuda (yum yum) no wonder i'm putting weight on with all the fresh fish about.Also anglers Daniel Vit and Elan Svensson for their contribution and filling my freezer Turtles have put in appearances on a daily basis (5 a day sometimes) Good luck for tommorow lads and keep those big rays coming to give our clients this chance of viewing these spectacular creatures. Why do we ray fish? easy answer they are the biggest fish around at this time of the year.Go on spoil yourself give it a go you wont be dissapointed.

Sierras and Barracudas
 Thursday 19th November 2009
Fishing was slow on wednesday for the big rays but there was action with barracudas and sierras feeding.
Today Thursday the ray fishing was out of the question due to bad winds ( these fish like a still bait )best photo of the day was young 7 year old Frans Kulmala from Finland pictured with a specimen Barracuda. Many more were hooked and lost including a wahoo.Lets hope the winds die down so we can get stuck into the bigger rays we hope. Will keep you updated on our progress
