It was an amazing season for us and we want to thank all the people that fished with us...

No luck with the weather

We tried to fish Condor Bank again, but the sea got too rough and we had to leave after a few hours...we trolled the way back but saw nothing

Back on Condor Bank

Today was the first day after the storm where we had conditions to fish again... We went to Condor Bank in the early afternoon to see what´s happening there...There was less activity than before the storm and you can feel that winter is coming...We were lucky enough to see and catch one Blue Marlin around 650lbs on Black Bart´s RPP...the fish did some really cool jumps close to the boat and we could release it in very good conditions...More fishing tomorrow

Lost one

We were fishing on Condor Bank today and lost a Blue Marlin close to the leader...After that the charter got seasick and we had to come back early....

short day

Today we fished Condor Bank again and after 30 minutes trolling we hooked a Blue Marlin that died during the fight and we took it to the scale and it weighed 597lbs....Lure was Black Bart´s RPP

700 pounder

Today we went 1 for 3 on Blue Marlin fishing Azores Bank...the fish ate Black Bart´s Angle 1656 and was around 700 pounds...we also caught 2 Mahi Mahi...good weather for the weekend

Proper fishing again

We had a little bit more luck with the weather today and it was possible to fish Condor Bank...we  caught and released a small Blue Marlin around 200lbs on Black Bart´s Angle 1656....

Marlin fishing impossible

Today and yesterday we had really bad weather and it was impossible to fish for marlin for us...we did some bottom fishing and caught some groupers and snappers but we can´t wait to start trolling again...maybe the weather will be better tomorrow...

Wind

Today we had bad luck with the weather...in the morning the only more or less protected area was in front of the airport where we tried to fish and in the early afternoon the wind picked up again and it became too rough to fish proper and we decided to come back...we saw nothing..

Nice day

We fished Condor Bank again and went 1 for 3 on Blue Marlin, releasing an 800 pounder after 90 minutes fight...the fish ate the Hawaiian Breakfast from Black Bart....tomorrow will be very windy...

Day off for Habitat

We helped out some friends on another boat today and fished with them and went 3 for 5 on Blue Marlin including the release of a 900 pounder on Condor Bank...tomorrow fishing on Habitat again

More Blue Marlin for Habitat

Condor Bank was the place to be again...We went 3 for 7 on Blue Marlin, caught 2 big ones ( 850 and 750 pounds) and a small one around 200...Both big fish ate Black Bart´s Blue Breakfast on the short corner...lot of action

Excellent fishing continues

We fished Condor Bank after that great day yesterday again and it stayed very productive...We went 3 for 4 on Blue Marlin, releasing a 700 pounder and 2 around 500 pounds...

6 in one day!!!!!

Today was an incredible fishing day on Habitat at Condor Bank...We caught 6 Blue Marlin out of 7 bites (750, 600, 400, 300, 300 and 250 pounds), had one double header and some nice corner bites...looks like fish is everywhere right now...best season we ever had over here on Habitat...hopefully more to come tomorrow

Update

Sorry for the delay but now a quick update on the last few days...
On Sunday we were not fishing on Habitat, we helped out on Gypsea Blues and caught 2 Blue Marlin and a White Marlin with them...
Yesterday we were not lucky on Habitat...We fished Azores Bank and broke one off on the first run and missed a second one that just knocked down the lure...
Today we tried to fish Condor Bank and went 3 for 7 on Blue Marlin, releasing a 750, 500 and 250 pounder...Black Bart´s Grander Candy on the short corner was the top lure today...

Nothing

Today we were really unlucky and lost a couple fish (blue and white marlin)...the good thing is that fish is around and luck can change...

Double Header in the North

Still windy today so we decided to fish a protected area in the north of Faial.. We made the right decision and just after we arrived we had a double header and caught both Blue Marlin.. Fish we around 300 and 400 pounds and ate Black Barts Kona Pro Jet and the 1656 Angle.. That was it for the day..

Wind

Strong wind and big waves today made our fishing day really short...hopefully better conditions tomorrow!!!

Bite continues

The Azores Bank is still the place to be if you want to catch big atlantic blue marlin....We went 3 for 3 on Blues today, releasing an 850, 700 and 600 pounder and 1 for 2 on Whites...Absolutely incredible fishing right now... hope it stays like this

New Record

Today we broke the boat record with most blue marlin caught in a season on Habitat from last year with the release of number 26...
We had a great fishing day at Azores Bank...We went 4 for 6 on Blue Marlin ( released a 650, 450, 400  and a 250 pounder) and 1 for 2 on White Marlin...All fish beside the 650 (on Hot Breakfast) were caught on the Hawaiian Breakfast from Black Bart..

2 for 3

We fished Azores Bank again today...We caught a small Blue Marlin (300lbs) around noon and another one (600lbs) late in the afternoon...both fish ate the Blue Breakfast on the short corner...on the way back we hooked a decent one and pulled hook close to the boat...that was on the Big Rock Plunger...day off tomorrow

One more

Today we had a bite in the morning, but nobody saw what it was and it came off after a few seconds...
After that we raised a Blue Marlin that just had a look at the lure but never touched it and disappeared..In the late afternoon we finally hooked and caught a Blue Marlin around 350 pounds that ate the Blue Breakfast on the short corner...

Tricky Day

We fished in calm waters on Azores Bank today....there were so many fish around but they didn´t eat proper and preferred to play with the lures....Finally got 6 bites from Blue Marlin and caught 2 out of them...One fish was aroun 750 pounds, the other one around 550...going out tomorrow again

Short corner action!!!!

After a bad day yesterday we had a great one today...we caught 3 Blue Marlin and pulled the hook on one more...The fish were 800, 700 and 450 pounds...one we caught on the Hot Breakfast and all the others took the Blue Breakfast on the short corner...Everything happened on Azores Bank

No luck

We fished Azores Bank today, but had absolutely no luck...we didn´t get any bites on the bank and on the way back we pulled hooks on a blue after 30 seconds....tomorrow will be different!!!

One Blue

We fished Azores Bank today... we caught a Blue Marlin around 550lbs on the Big Rock Plunger in the early afternoon...weather was very nice, finally...we´re going out tomorrow again

Super Plunger raised a nice one

We had the last day of filming today and went to Azores Bank... Finally we managed to get a Blue around 800 lbs and a White Marlin behind the teaser... Teaser was Black Bart´s Super Plunger... Tomorrow fishing again

Nada

Today we tried to run our teaser at Condor Bank but we had no luck and saw nothing...Hopefully on our last day of filming tomorrow the luck is on our side...

No fish

Today we had less wind and we tried to go to Azores Bank again, but we didn´t see anything and so we went to the south of Pico in the afternoon, but the result was the same...nothing

Nothing but wind

Today was very windy again and the only option was running our teaser in the north of Faial. We tried it, but saw nothing....Weather should improve tomorrow....

Storm

Today was the first day of a film project where we try to film free swimming billfish....we had really rough sea and a lot of wind, so it was only possible to try to raise fish in the north of Faial...We raised a white marlin on Black Bart´s Super Plunger and that was it for the day...

"Habitat hooked up"

3 times we could call in a hookup on the radio today and we managed to catch all 3 Blue Marlin...We fished Azores Bank in rough waters but the fish were biting...We caught a 700, 550 and a 450 pounder. 2 fish ate the Hot Breakfast and the biggest one the Big Rock Plunger...It was a great day fishing at the Azores!!!!

Good One

We had an excellent fishing day on Hatbitat today...We fished Azores Bank and hooked a Blue Marlin in the morning around 750lbs...We had the swivel around 1 foot away from the rodtip when we pulled hooks...Around noon we got a second chance and this time we caught the fish...It was a Blue around 850lbs that ate Black Bart´s Big Rock Plunger on the long corner...The fish did some spectacular jumps and we were able to release it in perfect condition...

Quiet Day

Today was a bit slow for us. We fished Azores Bank, had one knockdown from a small fish and that was it for the day...Hoping for more action tomorrow

Action

Today we fished Azores bank and right in the morning we missed a small Blue Marlin. Around lunchtime we had a double header of Blues, were fighting both fish for quite a while and as soon as we had the first one on leader we pulled hooks on the second one around 50 yards away from the boat....Then we missed one more Blue on the bite and in the end of the day we had a double header of White Marlin and caught one of them...

Nada

Toady we tried everything but couldn´t find a fish...First we started at Azores Bank and moved to Condor Bank in the afternoon...Hopefully more luck for us tomorrow

Fish around

Today we fished again at the Azores Bank. First thing in the morning we caught a Blue Marlin around 500lbs on Black Barts Blue Breakfast...After lunchtime we had a double header from White Marlin and caught both of them and in the late afternoon we missed one more White Marlin....Fishing is good!!!!
