St. Georges, Grenada

The last day, we all turned up on time and promptly as we went even earlier today, in fact we were the first boat to leave the marina

We started to head out to the fishing ground, which turned out to be about 10 to 15 miles North West of St Georges. Why change a winning formula.

We had a better day of it today, our team had now got to know each other better and we all got on famously, we were all keen to give it our best shot and had been talking to other anglers the previous day trying to understand our short comings.

Just before noon, Ziggy hit into a Dorado, which promptly jumped out of the water by about 6 feet and made a spectacular site, he was in the fighting chair under control and enjoying every minute. Whist Ziggy was mid way through fighting his fish, my reel exploded and line started to peel off we were into a double hook up, again another Dorado.

Both fish were successfully landed onto the boat and at the first opportunity both Ziggy and I congratulated each other.

Shortly after noon it was Ferdinand’s reel started to scream (wonderful sound) and it became very clear right from the beginning that this was a much bigger fish. After a 20 minute battle the fish had been brought to the side and photographed then released. It was a sail fish at last and we were on the point’s scoreboard, which was a big relief to the skipper, but did nothing to improve his communication skills with his customers.

The day ended with a meal and the prize giving ceremony at the yacht club, with Hard Play 2 taking the first prize, as it did last year, so well done guys and see if you can make it three in a row next year.
