Claudius, Denis, Pascal and Lionel

Weather does not allow us to go up to the Eastern Bank for this 82h session. Activity around the island is difficult according to currents’ variations – some are very strong, some not at all – as well as a crossed swell and a strong wind. Strange for this season!

• Nevertheless, trolling brings beautiful wahoos and some yellowfin tunas. Lionel takes his first black marlin about 150kg.

• Claudius makes the difference in slow jigging, a technique that completes jig fishing and is terribly effective when practiced with adapted equipment. For a fish caught in traditional jigging (fast jigging) 4 fish will be caught in slow jigging. Results speak by themselves! A GT about 20kg was thus taken and released with this technique by Claudius.
