Cold, wet and windy

Cape Verde in May/June 2014

We fished for a total of 5 days with tough conditionson on Amelia with Skipper Zak Conde and the Mates Xi and Wilson. The wind was blowing up to 30 knots. We fished with 4 teaser and 1 marlinlure from our own range (single hook set-ups) and ended the trip with 7 blue marlin (biggest a solid 600 pounder), 1 white marlin and a nice wahoo.

By the end oft he trip we caught 4 blue marlin with our lures „Striker“, „Superjet“, „Honeyhooker“ and „Little Grander“ and 3 blue marline with bait & switch method – using small bonitos on circle hooks. For the teaser we used our lures „Grander 1238“ and „Big Smoker“. We caught the white marlin with our lure „Little Grander“ and the wahoo with our lure „Magic Shot“.
