Bucket List: Big Game Fishing
Seychelles, Mahé, sea west of Mahé This was a previous article written by myself and posted in this travelogue blog in September 2014. Those were the times when fishing was a favourite personal past-time. I had not been on open waters fishing trips for more than 10 years since, except for the occasional fishing trips to commercial fishing ponds. ****************** The main purpose of my visit to the Seychelles in May 2000, was for some big game fishing action. One of my fishing buddies, Kenneth, was there with me for the same reason. But the dates of our visit in the month of May, did not coincide with the big game fishing season which normally starts around September. Therefore, we learnt to our disappointment that big game fishes may not be easily targeted during our fishing trip. Still, we decided to go ahead and charter one of the specialised fishing boats. We contacted the organisers and chartered a small sports fisher for our fishing trip. The sports fisher was the Striker II.
