Deep Sea Fishing for Wahoo in Antigua, July 2010

A great full day of big game fishing in the deep sea off the east coast of Antigua for guests of ReefView Apartments, Antigua – aboard the 45ft Hatteras “Obsession” – run by Captain Derek Biel out of the Catamaran Marina, Falmouth Harbour. Landing a mixed bag of fish including barracuda, blackfin and skipjack tuna, – we even raised and hooked a blue marlin well over 100lb, which unfortunately threw the hook on its first jump after a smoking initial run. However it was the 3 wahoo between 25 and 35lbs which saved the day, (including a double header) – falling to the deeper trolled ballyhoo baits on the planer and wireline outfits. Capt. Biel kindly cleaned a wahoo and tuna for the happy ReefView guests – as the school of resident tarpon delighted the audience putting on their regular feeding show back at the Cat Marina.
