Slowjigging once again proved to be one of the most effective methods for a variety of fish species this week. Particularly notable were the large Corvinas, which we haven’t seen in such numbers and sizes before. A double catch of specimens measuring 118 and 116 cm was definitely one of the highlights this week.
Additional highlights of the week included the capture of a huge Snook and a Goliath Grouper weighing approximately 40 kilograms, which, by the way, was caught on a soft plastic lure commonly used in Norway. Grouper, in particular, are fond of these lures and are frequent prey in this type of fishing.
Popper fishing also brought some substantial surprises to light. Roosterfish of this kind are challenging to handle on heavy popper gear and give their all in the fight.
On the last day, we even encountered some of the typical action during the dry season. There must have been hundreds of smaller Roosterfish that stirred up the water in front of a large beach, decimating the sardines… sometimes 10 fish or more chasing the lure… just madness! We are even more excited about the upcoming dry season.
