Dylan scored a couple of lures for Christmas presents and has been into me ever since. The weather had finally come good on the 3rd and we have been lucky enough to get the boat back for a couple more days until they decide of the disposal process so we grabbed the rods and headed out. Not 5min after the lines hit the water we had a double hook up so both Dyl and Jodie had a fight on their hands. Dyl isn't strong enough yet to fight the big ones 1 on 1 so he left the rod in the holder till the end. Jodie did OK too. After landing 6 tuna it was time to head to Malinoa for a quick swim before returning home to hand out our spoils to some friends.

Two in the boat and smiles all round.
On our way up the reef we spotted a pod of small whales cruising south. The island in the back ground is Atata.
Em's big effort she thinks she caught this one but we think the Tuna spat it out but at least she's fishing still.
Lyndon and Dyl having some boy bonding.
Dyl was flogged after pulling in three of these boys but the smile lasted a lot longer. Although he was a little upset as the eyes on his lure got smashed off but it still worked!
A swim in the crystal clear waters surely revived us all.The next morning at 0430 Dyl, Lyndon, Mark and Neil headed back out for some bottom bashing this time with favourable tides. We surely made the most of the boat and good weather. We picked up a dozen reef fish and also had a visit from a Marlin which got us all very excited but it didn't take the hook just the little tuna that was hooked. We then picked up this Mahi Mahi.
Dyl slept most of the way home as he was dead on his feet after the early start and previous days fishing.
I busted Dyl having some fun. Who said dogs are the only ones who like the wind in their faces??
