Fishing with True Blue Charters and Captain Gary Clifford. Grenada has many inshore (and some offshore) reefs and shoals the edges of which can provide good fishing with varied species of fish. In some cases the drop off goes from 80ft to 800 ft very quickly and these steep drops are normally the best spots for a wahoo or kingfish.

The Fishing
Dec 8th. Found a small group of unseasonably large mahi that we found 12 miles offshore. A large blue came up on the shotgun repeatedly without touching the bait - it then engulfed the right rigger ballyhoo and headed for Venezeula at high speed! By turning and chasing we got back the 500 yds only for the fish to do it again. We had the double line on the reel at least 3 times. After 2.5 hours the 50lb test broke just as the sun set.- easily in the 450 - 500 bracket..
Nov. 26t. A nice marlin came up on a short bait then nailed an artificial lure running alongside - the marlin ran the line for 50 yds and came off. It immediately had a look at the shotgun bait but did not strike. I circled around and sure enough the marlin came back up and with a smaller friend which we hooked on the shotgun, the original marlin crashed the left rigger bait but failed to hook up. Mike bought the smaller fish to the boat after 40 minutes to be tagged and released estimated as s
June 28th. We were out again in the afternoon with Merv ’the swerve’ Hughes (famous Australian fast bowler) far right in bottom pic, Anthony Patterson (Australian cricket team media manager) centre in pic plus other ardent Aussie cricket fans. We went straight to the sailfish area from this morning and fairly quickly released one for Anthony. Later we missed another one and then fought a 3rd right up to the boat before the hook pulled..
April 13th.We tagged and released our largest blue marlin so far this year today for Marc-Andre Doyon. This fish I estimated at 450lbs. It was a text book marlin - it did a spectacular strike on the shortest line and took over an hour to subdue on 50lb test after leaping out many times, charging the boat and generally trying to kill us! We had it on the leader after 40 minutes but even 2 people pulling could not get it up to the surface and we had to let go again. After an hour we managed to tag
