We are getting to the end of our 2015 Guadalupe season but we still have a lot of action going on!

Hello Hello!!
We are getting to the end of our 2015 Guadalupe season but we still have a lot of action going on!
This time we had 72F/22C water the entire trip and really clear water 60ft/18m to 100ft/30m and sharks every day!
The first shark showed up about 20 minutes after we set the cages up and started chumming, it did not stay around for long but another 6 sharks came up to the boat through out the day, we also had a pod of about 20 Cuvier beaked whales very close to the boat!
On the second day, we had 8 different sharks around the cages, some of them were well known to us including: Gunter, Big, and Top Notch, who all gave a good show. To finish the day we had a small whale shark passing right next to the surface cages followed by a really big mobula ray!
The last day was the one with the most action not so much on the surface but a lot down on the submersible cage maybe 10 different sharks at least 4 of them on the same frame at some point with very close encounters with the sharks almost banging against the cages! We also had lots of yellow tails and yellow fins all around the cages and eating the bait.
We only have 3 more trips to go before we head to Socorro, but as I said there is still a lot of action going on so stay tuned to see how this season is going to end!
