An update from our friends in Kenya…..

Dear Dianne,

Hope all is well with you.  Just thought I’d send in the following bit of info for you.

In the last week the fishing at Hemingways has started to trend towards the bigger fish.  We’ve had two large Blues on the line – one estimated at around 700 pounds and yesterday one that broke the line with the greatest of ease was estimated at a thousand pounds.  Both anglers are back out on the ocean today looking for a blue with a slightly sore mouth…

Overall the fishing is excellent with 53 Sail and 14 marlin tagged and released in the last 7 days; with two anglers succeeding in catching their first ever marlins.

We’ve got the Watamu Festival Competition this weekend and then on the 9th & 10th March we have the Friends of Kenya comp where the anglers head out for a straight 36 hours of fishing; 2 days and 1 night with extra points scored for the nighttime Broadbill.  Tight lines gentlemen!

Best regards,

Melinda
