End of February, I have a day charter with Gregory and his wife from France. After they have enjoyed travelling in our beautiful island, they wanted to catch some GT's on popper and some others species.

Conditions in term of weather was absolutely stunning, glassy water and damn hot, but that not made the fish so active, but we manage to found some spots where some fish were keen to bite their popper. Gregory missed the first fish of the day, but he managed to set properly the hook on the next 2 bites during the morning. As the weather was very hot we decide to do bit of jigging but fish seems also not so keen to bite, despite some nice mark on the sonar.

Then, I propose them to do a bit of trolling and less than 10 minutes a beautiful wahoo smashed the Rapala, "dinner catch". We continue a bit but without success. I decide to have a try on the popping spots end of the day, but current was slow and sadly it doesn't make the fish active.

All in all was not a so bad day, as Gregory caught his first GT's on popper, what was the target of the day.

It was nice to meeting you and I wish you a nice bluefin tuna season in south of France next summer.
