Happy New Years Trevally Day - Part 2



After trolling, I went down South to go flyfishing.

Within 5 minutes of arriving, I had hooked into this Bluefin Trevally!

It was hovering around a Green Sea Turtle that was foraging. I think the trevally was looking for something to dart out from where the turtle was working. I cast to it and stripped the fly with the pole - the Bluefin went ga-ga, blitzed the fly (a bonefish bitter) and then stopped - worked it's mouth like it was saying "what the heck did I just eat???"

This guy fought admirably and he as well as the others I caught down South today went on to fight another day (caught and released).

I'll explain as I go on, but the flyfishing trip was a Triple Crown!
