Habanero in Fiji
Got an email from Habanero today, sitting in the office & it's drizzling outside.... what a bastard is all I can say!
Here is the email
Over the past ten days I have managed to land 7 wahoo and 4 yellowfin , but the best was when I was trolling 4 rods by myself a couple of days ago when got a triple hookup just on sundown , I kept the motors just in gear and managed to land one , then two but had to handling the third in as it had tangled with the other two , motor and Transducer, the deck was a bloodbath after bleeding them . I have been running a spread of lures including skirts , large bibless Marauders , and asstd bibbed minnows that can handle the speed , but the lure that has easily accounted for over half the fish is the good ol Halco Laser ProDD in king brown , I have been replacing the trebles with large 8/0 Decoy jigging single hooks , love that lure..
Anyway all the best.

Nice one Damo. Good effort to land all three. Would of been a nice sound to hear three reels going off with who on the end.
