Anglers experienced really slow conditions for the last week of the season. Pretty much as bad as it gets down here really. Even in the middle of a slow week, there are always pockets of activity, and there will be quite a few football YFT and jack crevalle to be had, but the most sought-after species were shy. On one of the boat, low activity was backed by bad luck as they lost 5 or 6 trophy fish, including trophy roosters and cuberas, which would definitely have made the trip otherwise. That's fishing, they said, we'll get them next time. That's the spirit !

And bad luck it really was, as I went fishing on the morning they arrived, and for 2 days fater they left. As sure as after the rain comes the sun, I scored and still can't believe how unlucky our guests have been, "scoring" pretty much all the flat spell... Here are a few pictures of the catches. All of them were caught slow-jigging as it's really what turns me on right now. Surely enough, the tackle and technique showed it's limit, though, as I lost 7 big fish (and Pascal 3) over these 2 days and a half.
