Disppointed Luconia Trip - Part 2

Is been a week after such a disppointment trip, but I still enjoy the good accompany of the fellow Kakis during the trip. I will still want to come to this place again but not with the captian he is still on Coral Crystal but I must said the deckies & the cook is very good, Jamil the cook keep feeding with nice food and  every meal is yummy yummy. Here are pictures of our catch and will continue to post thw rest of the pictures

Disappointed Luconia Trip

Almost took us a year to prepare for this trip and everyone of us are expecting to battle with some monsters pelagic but was such a disappointment when the biggest fish caught was only 15kg dog tooth tuna and a gaint grouper, 12 kg Amber jack and 11kg GT although target fish was met but the catch rate was also poor which we believed the skipper is trying to be funny, he will stay on if there is no bite but will relocate when fishes start to take jigs or bait and he keep mentioning " locunia got no more fish, Luconia got no more fish" WTF, we paid more than 20 k Sg dollars for the boat and not expectimg this is what he telling us. The other crew members was ok especially the cook Jamil is very good and feed us well with all meals
