The Captain with the days catch of 6 out of 11 hookups. All the strikes were multiples and up to four at a time. It gets hectic with two anglers on 20 lb gear and trying to handle four fish at a time.

WoW, what a catch. The Captain with a very proud Lady Angler. Isabelle Hardiker yesterday. Along with her husband Neil she fished for only one day two years ago and caught a 900 lb Blue Marlin. This was her first day at Wahoo fishing. (on 20lb) I think she should buy just one Lotto ticket and give it to me !!

MADEIRA SEASON GETS BETTER
Saturday, August 29th, 2009This is now the end of August and the season is getting better. This is fantastic and like seasons 15 years ago. it looks like it will go well into September and this was not unheard of back when MADEIRA got started as the hottest destination for Giant Atlantic Blues. Thing is there has been no real peak in the bite but a steady stream of fish with hardly a day that goes by when a fish is not caught or seen. And the average size at the moment is very good. 7/900 the norm.
