Clear skies, light wind and no rain - perfect conditions for fly fishing and that is exactly what I did for most of the day. I concentrated on fishing the drop-offs for giant and blue fin trevally. Although I landed several nice fish the big ones broke off. During the late afternoon black tip reef sharks, which are present all day, became very active and seemed to like a red fly. Imagine that!. They are a real hassle to land and sometimes it is better to just cut the line. After battling two of then I decided it was time to quit and work on the boat.

Tomorrow I may snorkel unless the conditions look especially good for fishing. Sometimes it is hard to make these decisions.
