Yet another day in paradise. We loaded up the boat with wives, kids and dive gear and headed out for morning swim with the manta rays. The mantas put on a show, being on the surface the entire 90 minutes we were there. Sometimes they can be skittish if you get too cloae, not this time. One actually ran its wing along my arm at one stage, absolutely awesome to be so close to these animals. Once the show was over I took the boat back, ditched everyone except one mate and loaded up the fishing gear. The plan was to get stuck into the mahi and boy did we do that. The plan was to put some on ice and then switch to the light gear. We found the school and I had one lure out, I had the second one in my hand ready to go when the first one got nailed - oh yeah it's going to be a good day. I had my mate wind in seven mahi and then I said, it's my turn. Out came the 3-5kg bream stick and 30 seconds after the pink rictor jellybabe was in the water I was hooked up to a small mahi. Five minutes later she was inboard. Time to go home, trolling only the jellybabe and just to ice the cake it got nailed by a bigger mahi. This one took a little longer and was a bit bigger. Nothing huge over the four hour period but topped off with some great fun at the end. Off to the pub for dinner, love this place.
