The season is on !

It was nice to have Andre and Thomas back at the lodge for the season opener, and a pleasure to meet Ralph and Stephen. It's been a nice week of fishing and some good times at the lodge. The wind seems to be back to normal this year, which is a relief after 2-3 very windy years. The guys even had some dead flat days, something we would not even have dreamed about last February. Action was up and down but overall rather consistent throughout the week, with a few triple and quadruple hookups. Andre, who's had some monster roosterfish last time, finally got the big cubera that had eluded him until then. On the negatives, not so many chances at big fish, and even less success in landing them ! But that's fishing and what also what makes you come back ! So we'll see you guys again in January 2018, and no compromise this time !

Went fishing with my friend jean-cristophe the day after they left and we had a great time fishing schools of small cuberas in mirror-like conditions. The ocean was teeming with life and we had some surreal vision, like this huge turtle raising out from the depth a few meters from the boat, surrounded by dozens of cubera snappers. In the end we got 5 to the boat and lost another 6, all on topwater ! BTW I'm the one to be blamed for bad statictics... Mostly small fish with the biggest one to the boat around 8 kilos. One of the fish that manage to get away was a propr big one, though...
