The Fishing Crew lead by Nicolas and Skippered by Hersis managed to find our Anglers Thomas & John a beautiful Blue Marlin whilst aboard the PAILLE-EN-QUEUE IV. With a weight of 165 lbs and a line test of 130 lbs it is always such a pleasure to see the happy smiles of our customers when they come back victorious from their days fishing.
Even after all these years I still get a rush of adrenaline seeing the red flag on top of the fishing rods signalling the boats success in reeling in a billfish as they enter Grand Baie and Dock at Sunset Boulevard.

This is Thomas,one of the anglers. Thanks to the crew ! I have to make them a big compliment. Apparently, they knew what they were doing. I assume it is not easy to "find" the fish in the middle of the ocean. We caught it at 23 miles distance from the shoreline. The crew had prepared the equipment, had the right gut feeling about the direction and knew how to get the Marlin out of the water. For Jonathan and me a great fight with the creature, challenging our mussels, was left - which we shared like brothers. We had selected Sportfisher in Grand Baie because we felt attracted by their track record. In front of the shop you could see when they caught marlins. Obviously there is no guarantee and we tried to keep expectations low. In the end out of four boats we were the one with the red Marlin flag on that day! Again - Thanks Nicolas and Hersis !
