MarlinMoz is at it again

Currently launching from maputo and fishing around Inhaca. Will be here until end of May. After that doing the Blue Marlin Season in Madeira (June - July). 
After spending the day pulling lures out wide in search of elusive Blue water we moved in to shallower green water to live bait a small YFT outside a pinnacle. With the leader still in hand a 350+ lbs Black charges in and after a small drop back we hookup. Unfortunately the fish spit the bait a couple minutes later. But what a show seeing that pitch Black fish take a bait a mere 4 meters from the boat!!!
We were fishing #30 tackle and mostly using the new batch of legend´s we got a couple day´s ago. The Iduna and especially the Merlin were on fire with all sizes of YFT! Unfortunately, at the end of the day we lost the latter to a wahoo cut off :-(
Even tough we mostly fished lures we ended up catching 16 YFT and 2 wahoo. Had we specifically target YFT it could have been a real slaughter. We found them early morning in 50 meters of water and there were schools all the way to 300 meters of water...all over!!!
Great day aboard `Kambaku´ yesterday, here´s Rufino with a mid size speedster...
