Colour of the week: red !

Last week, snappers were on fire in Pedasi. The silk snappers, our version of the Atlantic red snapper, were caught one after another if you were on the right spot at the right tide. The cuberas were also plentiful and hungry. Each angler in the party boated at least one Cubera, and all of those were caught on popper or stickbait. Fisherman of the week Bart got 5. Almost everyone got their chance at a monster fish (60+) but none got lucky with those. Catching a really big one on spinning gear really is the ultimate challenge. The big absentee of the week was the roosterfish, with only 2 followers (some real nice ones, though) but no takers. As always at this season, there were lots of frenzies along the beaches with countless jack crevalle mixed with some Sierra macks. The jigging was good with plenty of amberjacks, although no big ones were caught.

We can feel that the green season is approaching. We should soon see the first yellowfin tunas moving close to shore.
