Excellent report Mark and thanks for sharing.
A 50 kg Doggie on a little Synit Venom 250? Wow! How long did that take?
I noticed you guys did a bit of trolling (no doubt to give the arms a rest). Does that mean that there are decent top water casting opportunities at Rodrigues as well as the world class jigging?
Top effort and well done to everyone involved.
Hi Mark,
Thanks. Must catch up with you in Bali soon, wife wants a trip there! Good to hear that you are better too!
Yes, Rodrigues is a multi-fishing destination. Yann will not do 100% jig trips, Yann wants Rodrigues to be known as a multi-fishing destination.
Rod Fishing Club has 4 different world records on 3 different techniques.
After breaking the Marlin record, an angler from the USA wanted to charter Black Marlin for 2 weeks...just to troll for Marlin. But Yann declined because Rodrigues is a multi-fishing destination.
However GT enthusiasts on this forum might want to note that GT popping around the high reef is not good anymore so if you main aim is to pop for GT then Rodrigues isn't the place.
A lot of big fish there and records waiting to be broken. We must have smashed the 2 spot red snapper (red bass) record twice this trip!
cheers,
mark
