This week we had Golan and Yona join us for just 2 days fishing whilst on their travels from Israel, along with a crew of 6 from the UK and 3 from the U.S. 

The start of the week saw a great Cubera Bite, lots of fish were risen, a fair few hooked some got lucky and either freed the hooks or got the better of the anglers, but some were landed and some great size ones at that! The star of the show was Rick from the U.S with a monstrous Cubera on stickbait, a fish that tested every bit of him and needed some help to ensure he didn't go overboard with it haha! 

Golan and Yona got amongst a good Rooster frenzy on their first day landing many to tick off their bucket lists, they also found a crazy big Jack bite! They also had many chances at Cubera but luck wasn't on their side, when a big one they manage to coax boat side spat the hooks within feet of the boat, unlucky! 

A couple of the boats one day found themselves in some great Yellowfin Tuna action which saw around 30 fish in total brought to the boat along with more sporadic Tuna and Mahi Mahi throughout the days which in turn is a sign that the seasons are changing, we had our first rains in months this week! 

Don from the UK landed a big Rooster on SPJ tackle which makes for a great catch, on the same day Andy also had a big Rooster on popper which unfortunately spat the hooks mid-fight! 

In general this week there was numerous big fish opportunities, the overall action seemed very sporadic and hard at times, the water temperatures and clarities have seemed very inconsistent and the changing air pressures creating some relentless and unpredictable currents which can really limit the fishing!

This week was round 3 for our European agency 'Getaway Sea Angling' in which consisted of guys from Germany, Austria and Denmark.

They was all eager to get out as in the 2 days previous before the guys arrived a huge presence of Sardine shoals thick and plentiful flooded the coast and with it many predatory fish Kieren reported. Day 1 the guys got to experience some of this finding many Roosters with the top boat landing 18 on day 1 alongside many Jacks, Sierra mackerel and more. During the week whilst casting at the sardines Udo got quite the surprise when a quality Cubera inhaled his small stickbait and with some degree of luck managed to land the fantastic fish on the light rod! Over the next few days the intensity of the sardines decreased and with it the inshore activity with it as expected. If only we could plan for exactly these times! 

The week saw its usual sporadic nature, hit and miss inshore activity, the guys seemed to have some bad luck with a good number of the big fish with only a few making it to the boat! 

The last day for the Germans saw some top draw jigging action which saw them have double and triple hookups drift after drift of Fortune Jacks, White Tuna and the odd obliging Almaco Jack in-between which made for some great sport.
