  13. dug a few more out BB of fishing the baitballs , got to look for the white birds diving therel be the 1st on the scene the other birds will follow them to the action ,gun the boat to the head of the action get too close and it stops and the chance is over but with a 25 to 30yrd cast you might get a hook up ,then the tuna will rip 150yrd at least off your 10wt and the fight is on hell of a fight and highly addictive you might land a fish as the sharks aint far behind the action lol
  14. having spent over 21 days in total on a small island the wind dropped and we managed to get on the deep , eventually got into some dolphin on the fly , none of us had ever been put in the position of knowin what to do not even the locals , the deep drop fisherman took us out chasing birds once we hooked a dolphin on a popper we got one of the locals to hold the rod while the fish swam close to the boat within a min a dozen bulls and cows turned up in full colour , began chopping up 2 small snapper with a machete and chumming them onto the free offerings out came the fly rods and the action sta

  18. have chartered big boats to chase wahoo and marlin and found it dead boring and a waste of money altho we got a wahoo few tuna and I lost a marlin I hate using 60lb to 100lb class tackle nothing compares to being out in the small boats with the locals the folk who realy know the shallows and the near drop offs , once got a local lad to take us out 0n a 45min run in a 16ft boston whaler to some offshore flats with a tiny island called fish cay never seen so many bone fish nothing big but in a number of 3,000 I spent most of the time catching bones one of the others had over 15 cudas off the bea
