The Team is Back in Cape Verde Africa. It's been almost a year since they last visited these remarkable chain of Islands of the Coast of West Africa. They were unsure whether they'd visit this year, but the team made the call to retire the 33 L&H in Abidjan and head back to CV.
The first few days of fishing are slow and the team struggles to hook fish. While on Anchor at Sao Antao Island, Anthony reflects on all that's taken place since the crew last left that Island. The 150 was put up for sale only to have the 175 have catastrophic engine failure. Delaying its completion by over 6 months.
A new day brings with it new luck. The bite begins to finally heat up and the team capitalizes on it. securing several quality marlin over the course of the next several days. This trip is the second most successful fishing trip from a numbers standpoint. Only halfway through the trip and the team has landed close to 15 Blue Marlin.
The team decides to catch up with some close friends and invites the infamous Marty Bates and crew onto the mothership for dinner. The perfect way to end a great couple days of fishing. Stay tuned for part 2 of this great trip.
