| Like last year, we didn't have to wait long, | for the Sails to hit the baits, | and then the fun begins... |

| Sailfish coming near to the boat, | using up its last resources, | and then we got you - what colours !!! |

|
|
| The guide lifts the fish into the boat, | and Jesper can show what a magnificent fish it is. | After a few (read: many) photos it is released again. |
|
|
|
| Of course, everyone caught Sailfish. Here's Mark. | Steve. | Andy & Lynn visited us
in Rompin, and they were invited to join the fun on the boats. |

|
| Peter. Nice shorts. | Claus. Still no Tiger... | Kim - always expect him to do the unexpected. |

|
| Lovely Lynn with her first Sailfish. | And her second Sailfish, | which gave her a good fight ! |
|

|
| Yes, it's me... From my pretty side... | Rune caught a rare splitbill Sailfish - | as you can see here. |

| Stick City was a fishing station, | but today it's an "out-of-the-way" experience. | However, they still fish to feed themselves and visitors. |

| There were certainly enough fish. | We had a traditional "Steam Boat" with seafood. | Even breakfast was a treat: Sausages & fried eggs. |

| We still had 3 more days to fish, | and, boy, did we fish. Double- & triple hookups. | The fishing went absolutely mad. |
