Fishing Ascension Island
Ascension Island is probably one of the dream destinations for popping and jigging anglers. The Atlantic around the island is a huge protected area, where commercial fishing is prohibited. It is no wonder, therefore, that a fishery is encountered here which is probably unique in the Atlantic. When popping huge Yellowfin crash your lures (even fish from the shore are possible here!) Also big Amberjacks are caught from shore. Just like when jigging, there are places where you get a bite every drop.
Ascension is certainly a dream destination and thanks to a new boat also affordable.
