Half Day Trip (over 7 hours)
VERIFIZIERTI don’t often leave reviews, but this time it woukd be an injustice not to. We booked the half day fishing trip with Coeur de Lion and this has been easily the highlight of our trip.
From the ease of booking on the website and starting the communication, it has been quite clear that we are dealing with passionate fishing professionals who take pride in their craft. Captain Kevin and his crew have an abundance of experience to ensure that anyone ok board will be looked after and supported in their fishing efforts.
The whole excursion starts way before the actual trip where the captain recommends the best days to go out. No prior experience is requred, but beginners like us should choose less windy days. It just so happened that this Thursday (1st June) was a perfect day and our two-week vacation meant we could hold out for it.
Our trip began just before sunrise at 5:30am (bring a jacket as the journey out of Trou Aux Biches is quite cold in the dark) and within an hour we were deep sea fishing for yellowfin tuna. Three were caught within the first 90 minutes with another two small Mahi Mahi caught by 9am, just when the sun started to be fully ablaze. We were allowed to catch every single one of them and if not for our amateur behaviour, we should have had one or two more fish reeled in.
We then ventured further out to target larger Mahi Mahis that are typically found around birds flocking to smaller fish that are swimming around the surface level, but nothing could be found within the next 2.5 hours or so, although we didn’t mind being cruised around in a lovely boat during that time and having the odd nap or two given the early start. Sandwiches, soft drinks and beer is provided on a complimentary basis btw, but the all-action nature of the trip and early start meant that there was really no time for smashing beers. More fishing, less drinking!
At around 11am and shortly before we had to head back to the shore, we suddenly found a promising spot to find Mahi Mahi and actually managed to get one to bite. A 15 minute battle ensured and sadly the fish won this time, escaping from our hook. In my head I was thinking that if only we could catch another Mahi Mahi to make it 3 tuna and 3 mahi mahi then I would return happy, but it might have just been one of those days on the sea.
Just when we thought all hope was lost for more fiahing action, the crew spotted a large flock of birds who were circling a spot a nearby and low and behold many baits were thrown, rods preppared and we managed to catch another 6(!) Mahi Mahi within an hour!
Absolutely exhausted from the unexpected haul and fully satisfied with the overall result, we returned back to the island with 11 fish caught. We couldn’t take any with us due to our hotel restrictions, but we’ll have the wonderful memories with us for a very long time!
Thank you very much Captain Kevin and crew! You guys have been amazing and we fully enjoyed spending our time on your boat together. We appreciate your patience and have no doubt that the fish will land on restaurant plates that will be enjoyed by the diners as much as we enjoyed catching them!
All the best,
Andreas and Ruo from the UK
