The bad weather from the previous week persisted for several days and worsened to the point that, in some villages, boats were pulled out of the sea for safety. This week, we moved to a new area that is more sheltered due to the wind direction. Thankfully, it’s somewhat more protected here, but the sea is still rough and challenging.

The second week of our adventure in Djibouti brought with it fresh hopes and a renewed sense of purpose. With a new group of anglers onboard, we were eager to see what the Gulf of Aden would unveil this time. Much like the first week, the fishing started on a slower note, requiring patience and persistence. However, as the days progressed, the action ramped up dramatically, surpassing even the impressive results of the first week.

October had not only brought us the start of a new season but also the thrill of discovery and the satisfaction of success on the water. The adventure was a reminder of why we fish—not just for the catches, but for the stories, surprises, and the deep connection to nature that comes with every cast and every strike.
