Marlin, tuna and reef colours

Three marlin and a sailfish on the troll, yellowfin tuna, wahoo and mahi-mahi offshore, plus GTs, groupers and red snapper on the reefs.

Blue water was the story of this trip. Trolling the current lines off the Andaman reefs produced three marlin and a sailfish, with yellowfin tuna, a wahoo and a bull mahi-mahi in between.

Closer to the reefs, the poppers and jigs kept the rods bent: giant trevally on topwater, golden and lyretail groupers, red snapper, a rainbow runner and a great barracuda as long as the angler holding it.
