Greetings from Bom Bom,
We just finished our first charter for the season with angler Luc Van Puyenbroeck, from Belgium aboard the “Dorado” our 32 ft Blackfin. Luc is back to Bom Bom for the 5th consecutive time to fish the 4th July Blue Marlin World Cup. Although its still early in the season and the Big Girls Bom Bom is so well know for normally only show up in good numbers by mid to the end of July, Luc has seen some very big fish in his trips here and believes there is no place on the planet will give him a better chance.
At the end of it we had red hot fishing although predictions were true and most of the fish run around the smaller side from 250 to 450 pounds. In our four days of fishing (2 full and 4 half days) we saw or raised 38 Blue Marlin, had 21 meaningful strikes, hookup on 11 fish and released 8. We also got a sailfish and a couple of good dorado.
On the 4th July (world Cup) it took us a while to get into the bite and only had our first bite at half past ten. After that we had non stop action for the day with 2 fish (300 and 350 lbs respectively) released out of six bites. We raised another 6 fish but has they did not make the eligible weight we pulled the lures away from them to maximise our fishing time. The only fish that would have just made 500 lbs come late afternoon on the WR but we did not managed to connect.
Congratulations to the boys on the "Queen of hearts" for their fish and 2007 World Cup win.
Cheers,
Duarte
