It's so so.....
I have heard some very disturbing reports from there.
Too many bubblies there these days.
It is a huge risk to go out there just to notice that a diving charter parks next our boat and throws out lot of bubblies. We all know how pelagic predators like about that.
As far as I know all the worth mentioning game fish has been speared around the central group lately. I have heard no good reports from Alice. If someone has anything on this, please do share.
We have made a decision to assess the situation once there. The possibility is certainly there, but we really need to see how the odds are at that time.
Other than that, all looks pretty good. Boaties/boats arranged. One of these blokes used to spend his childhood on a tunaboat.....he is said to be a master of spotting tuna schools.
*sharpens APEX shafts*
More than tuna, I'm looking forward to possibly landing a big wahoo. They should be arriving at those times and will be after some grub for sure. It would be great to have some dorado action too but I'm a bit sceptical about that as the water may be a tad too cool at that time. Good warm current may however bring them in.
AJ's and shads will be around for sure, and especially shad will make coast launches worthwhile.
Something I'm very much looking forward to.
Cheers,
M

Did not go all that well. Some 4-6kg Irio's caught from the eastern parts and Squinty nailed a 9,6kg barracuda on the very first day.
No mentionable pelagics spotted.
Guy you wish to talk to is Michael from Pico sport (next to marina in Madalena).
He sure knows the ropes in Pico. Give him my best when you talk to him.
Tips for BW hunting.....patience, patience, patience, patience and a good boat.
We had the boat but not the patience.
You are arriving there in prime time. While we were there the weather was unusually cold and rainy...now the temps are getting better.
It is a great place, but for BW hunting there are better destinations.
But if you live there....great!

Mikko

Just go to the whale watching booth in marina of Madalena and ask for Michael.
We got the boat from there.....very expensive.
I guess it is just about spending enough time in most likely places.
We were there for limited time only and hence did not wish to be spending all of the time floating in big blue.
