black marlin - Rod Fishing Club - Rodrigues Island - Mauritius - Indian Ocean
Patrick (Switzerland) Maurice, Jacky & Geneviève (France)
Weather is nice for this 58h on the Eastern Bank. Patrick had made his friends coming over to Rodrigues for a very first time. A nice marlin unhooks before reaching the bank.
Trolling, a 30kg wahoo and a 15kg yellowfin tuna may be a good sign.

At night, bottom fishing, beautiful jobfish (15kg for the biggest) and lugubris trevallies complete this first day.

On the 2nd day, trolling, anglers catch nice yellowfin tunas (the biggest of 34kg by Maurice), rainbow runners and dogtooth tunas. We did not feel like to bottom fish with live bonitos because of the numerous sharks on the spot.
