Maldives 2015 - Light Jigging

Light jigging at coral bommies amongst the lagoon and reefs fringing the channels of Maldivian atoll at the end of outgoing tides regularly produced spectacular, fast-paced fishing actions during our trip in 2015.

My favorite Storm Gomoku Keiryo + Rapala Rage BC set-up being called to battle many times just to max out the frantic chomping frenzies.
