Saturday saw Nic and Scott heading over to Ant Atoll for a dive and some fishing. As soon as we left the inner reef we saw a massive flock of birds working the surface so out went the lures and in came the fish. We caught eight skipjack tuna and one yellowfin tuna in about half an hour. Nic even got up and fought a couple of tuna to the boat. A great start to the morning.
Scott loaded up on a 16lb skipjack tuna.
Beru does the gaff work and onto the ice it goes.
We left the school biting and heading over to Ant Atoll for a dive. We trolled a couple of lures over some likely looking ground on the way to the dive site and hooked up start away to a dog-tooth tuna. Fantastic eating these ones.
Nic had made up some lunch and it was quickly devoured. Beru insisted on having some skipjack sashimi though. We didn't have a cutting board so we found the next best thing. The spare engine....
Just incase you wondered why they are called dog-tooth tuna.
