Deep Sea Fishing (in the Indian Ocean!!)

Over the summer break (December) we had the opportunity to rent a boat in the Mtwaya area for 6 hours and do some deep sea fishing in on the north coastline past the reef. We were really not sure if we could last 6 hours due to any one of us becoming sea sick - no worries! It was a great experience as we were able to see some dolphins, sword fish and sail fish. It was spectacular to observe sail fish jump out of the water and then slap themselves against the water. They did this either jumping forwards or backwards. We were told they do this to get certain bugs or algae off of their bodies.

Yes of course we caught a fish or two --- they may even have been the size of JAWS. Not really, Jordan was bale to reel in a 5 pound Blowfish and Bapa Ken reeled in a 20 pond Dorado. This type of fish is a beautiful turquoise and yellow in color. Within 5 minutes of being in the boat it changes color to grey and black. We had fresh fish for supper that night. We can not wait to try the adventure again!
