Africa Mauritius fishing

[jerk]

Went honeymoon at Mauritius…Mauritius isn’t that fantastic! Postcard photos are all bullshit man! Anyway....Visited lle aux cerfs. This is one paradise!


On board of one superb catamaran! (bigger version of Makaira catamaran)



Managed to do some fishing there. On board on this game boat "Horizon"


Target: Black marlin! It’s the season now but guess wat? Trolled all the way. No marlin no bonito no mahi mahi nothing! Sea state was like “The perfect storm” almost gave up! I shared the boat with another couple. They couldn’t take it so request to head back shore. I “boring half man” Paid almost $400 n that’s it? Ask skipper if there are reefs that I can do some light jigging or popping. Went out again. Skipper told me this island good for jigging n popping!!! Blue water with dropoffs. Beautiful place. See below for pixs!


Popping anybody?


How bout jigging?


Popping and jigging?

Only catch of the day on jig!




Paid $400 for this fish? Well Done Chris! #$%@^* (Remarks was from my wife)

Rodrigues wasnt in my budget bro.

[thunnus]

Ooops, sorry brother.... I thought, if i'm not mistaken, from Mauritius to Rodrigues is only half or one hour with local flight. So, I think it isn't that costy, since you've already been there..... But anyway, I suppose you have a great honeymoon there.......and wish all the best to you !!!

Hi Chris,

If I am not mistaken, that is actually a baby GT, not a bluefin If the charter you went on told you Black Marlin is in season, then you probably went with the wrong charter who is clueless because Mauritius is essentially a Blue Marlin fishery. Blacks are rare; very few & far between

Marlin fishing is like that -- an all or nothing game. If you managed to have a marlin hit on that day, you would have been very, very lucky!!!

Best regards,
Makaira

Hi Chris,

Never mind about the fish you caught. At least you enjoyed your honeymoon

I heard the game boat operating in Rodrigues had pulled their boats back to Mauritius.

[stickbom!]

[jerk]

See, this is wat i call fren. Edy no good. wana blackmail me somemore!

[sailfish1]

it depends on place season and the boat
rodrigues is excellent but you must be most a sailor than an angler
waves 4-5 metres constantly

my friend 6 years ago I paid 800 usd for a swordfishing night in a sea mountain in Kenya where I was told that you can get 5-6 bites during the trip
and what! nothing nada niente gournicht
only a damn rough sea
thats the fishing
at least my wife doesnt know about this
