Week 16 was met by a group of anglers hosted by the brothers Stefan and Alex Haider. The breezy North Westerly winds made for some tricky casting conditions, however it was not enough to deter the guide team and anglers from catching an impressive array of fish.
The Bonefishing was outstanding, with a calculated number of just over 400 Bonefish landed for the 6 days and most of the guests having days of over 20 Bones. In some sessions, Bonefish were targeted in a water depth barely enough to cover their backs, making it most probably the most quintessential Bonefish experience. Quite often, rougher water conditions brings more GT’s onto the flats and this week was no exception. 8 Gt’s were landed with a lot more seen swimming just outside of casting range or away with the fly line. The forever popular Triggerfish are always great to target and for those who have stalked these finicky creatures can almost instantly relate to the joy of having 1 eat your fly. 4 magnificent Triggers were landed this week with 8 more hooked but lost unfortunately.
The bluewater guide team did exceptionally well this week in raising several Sailfish to the tease. 2 Sailies were landed after giving a great aerobatical display. Both fish were released and swam off perfectly with only bruised egos.
