That was the Team for a prospecting day in high depth. Some really had fun on very deep fishing  (deep jigging and deep baiting), and some others in deep sleeping. Prospection took place between 200m.and 400m.deep, as much on jigging as on baiting. For sure, above 220 or 230m deep, electric reel is required. As well as looking for new spots, it is always exciting to catch new species (never aboard Black Marlin at least), always hoping to catch a big X File. As a proof, this unusual piece: Black snoek, with its Latin noun: Thyrsitoides Marleyi. Finally, there were very nice rosy job fish between 8 and 9kg and some groupers and seriolas, including one captured by 335m depth.
