Martin, friend of Frans van Oss, came from Holland for three one-day fishing trips, looking for big fish (marlin, sailfish, dogtooth tuna). The weather is beautiful during this trip. A blue marlin is tagged with GPS tracking as part of the FLOPPED project in partnership with Ifremer.

A sailfish has climbed onto the lines… to play! We spent a lot of time with yellowfin tunas in Catalina, unfortunately without success.

A few yellowfin tunas, 37kg the biggest, wahoos, grouper, red snapper and job fish were on display during these days.

We spent 3 very pleasant days with Martin who will probably come back with friends. In the meantime, take care!
