Pelsaert Island. Big fish day!

2 April, Tuesday.
Pelsaert Island.

BF: Toast
Lunch: Groper and salad
Dinner: Groper and salad!

Wind eased a bit. Caught a very decent sized Baldchin Groper off the back of the boat. Probably about 5 - 6 kg. Very chuffed. Got him aboard just in time. Another 3-5 seconds and a 2m tiger shark would have had him.
Filleted him and got 4 excellent fillets. Threw the skeleton overboard, before it had sunk 3 large tiger sharks were at the stern of the boat. Big one probably 3+m. Judicious swimming off the boat from hereon in !
Two meals from the Groper. Magic eating, lunch and dinner. Washed down with a good vino of course. One of the nicest fishes I have tasted.Read more
