Africa

I have recently taken a trip to Africa to fish around the west coast of the continent. We chartered out a 62 foot viking which we lived on for two weeks. We set sail out of the south east of Florida. it took us one week to travail across the sea until we arrived near the shore of Africa. We docked up and went on land for one night to resupply on things we needed such as food and fuel. After one night we pushed off about 100 miles off the shore of Africa where we caught lots of tuna, sail fish, and sharks. We were trolling with nine lines in the water. Over all it was a very successful trip and I would recommend this trip to others. Although it was a long trip we had lots of fun and caught many fish.

identity

When going fishing it is important to carry a identity card to be able to find out what kind of fish you have just caught. Different fish have different limits on how many fish you can keep and when the season is for each fish. An identity card could look something like the example shown above. This is why it is important to know what kind of fish you have caught.

Night Fishing

Just recently I have taken an over night trip out in the Gulf of Mexico. We were on a 36 foot Luhurs sports addition. We set out at 5am and road hard for about 200 miles to make it out to the oil rigs. Once arriving we dropped the lines in and right away started to get a few bites. We were using live sagar minnows that we caught right out of the pass. We quickly limited out on red snapper after only a few hours of fishing. Once the sun started to go down we started to troll for tuna and kings. Once the sun went completely down fishing was slow for a few hours. About 2am the fishing really started to pick up. Lines started to go down left and right. We ended up landing 5 blue fin tunas and 3 kings. Finally after a long successful night of fishing the sun started to come up and we took a break for breakfast. After a 45 minute break we got the lines wet again and trolled for a few more hours before heading back to shore. Over all we had a great trip limiting out a red snapper, 5 tuna, and 3 kings. This was my encounter of our overnight fishing trip we took a few weeks ago.
