Second trip out during our holiday at Aitutaki was an afternoon trip
Stopped off at the first fad and the fishing was a bit slower. Jo dropped what was most likely a very good tuna after 40 minutes and I landed a couple of needlefish.
  Dragged some laser lures along a drop off on the edge of the reef and hooked what was probably a good wahoo which was taken by a shark. Hooked another smaller wahoo and dropped it at the boat.
Landed a couple of smaller yellowfin (good eaters) out by a work up.
 Headed around to another FAD where I hooked up onto a Rainbow Runner
  Carried on around the island and dragged some lures outside the airport where we landed three reasonable wahoo.
   Another excellent trip on Black Pearl Charters
